The perils of pump gas.
Fuel that was in the carb on a yfz vs in the tank.
Pump gas these days is good for about 3 weeks then it breaks down . If exposed to the air in a Carburetor or open container it will be even less.
The Raptor 700 is not as affected by this but a performance engine build Must get fresh fuel if sitting for a month.
Dump it out and refil, use a Busy fuel station that is a good brand (Chevron, Mobile, Shell, ect)
Failure from fuel quality can be very expensive, complete engine destruction from detonation!!.
Best case is that the engine does not start.
The bikes on Race gas 110 or Av gas are way more reliable because of this!
