This Motorcycle Has Been Sitting For A While......Will It Run?

Trying to diagnose and repair a Kawasaki dual sport motorcycle that has been sitting for a few years. Engine turns over, but won't start.....
Bike is a 2000 Kawasaki Super Sherpa. 250cc engine, 6 speed transmission. I bought it from a neighbor, who got it from his father. It has been in storage, and shows some wear, but overall in decent shape. We try to fix it.

    "I love you" "I always think your stuff is gonna work" "I could have a birds nest in my hand that's on fire and youd say 'yeah that'd work' " "I would" Aside from my sprouting mechanical passion this is the reason I love this channel, it's such a pure wholesome relationship that is so openly enjoyed so simple even on the days we can tell something is off you still always uplift each other. The bond between y'all is beautiful and some day I wish to be where you two are together

Googled a few videos about resolving the issue and sure enough I did it and now the bike runs better than ever, saved me a ton of money and learned a lot. It is videos like Jennies Garage that gives me the confidence to take on these projects. THANKS for the great content and enthusiasm and support for DIY!

    Dear Jennies Garage; I am one of your followers from Spain. I would like to thank you for being such an outstanding professional always being extremely humble. I definitely enjoy all the videos you upload, please keep on filming more. I really appreciate all you are teaching me not only from the mechanical point of view but also my English is improving since your accent and your easy-going personality make it easy to understand. Yours faithfully; Alberto.

    I like how you showed fixing a broken part. You can't always buy new stuff so in a pitch it's better to know a fix can be done. So the fun can continue. Cheers :) :) :)

    For a quick fix for broken parts use super glue & bi carb soda it drys instantly & very hard & fast & it's strong. It's not a long term solution but it should work to get you out of trouble. Love the channel stay safe.
