If it starts to run it is fuel related.change the gas in the tank and clean the carbs.Always add stable to your gas every tank full. It will coat the inside of the carbs and help to stop gumming.
Jump started it backwards no power no where now
Thanks for the clarification. It appears that you've done one of at least two things: 1. Either blown the main fuse; 2. Blown the battery (possibly). If the fuse only is blown, you'll need to isolate and replace it. If you actually fried an electronic or electric ignition component you'll need to determine if their circuits are still either functioning or dead. Secondly, if the battery is fried (more likely since you say no spark nor lights) you need to test it. Remove the positive and negative cables that attach to the battery and test it for voltage output. If you have an internal short or disconnect you'll get low readings. You want at least 12.8, preferably 13.2 volts. If you're marginal, hook up a trickle charger and charge it until it's up to capacity. You can, carefully though, read the individual cells with a decent hydrometer to determine if one or more is dead. If even one is dead and the others are good the battery is useless, and you'll need a new one. If thay all test good, but low, go ahead with the charge sequence. When finished re-attach everything and start it . Do not use a car charger unless it has a 1.0 or 1.2 amp trickle charge feature and you must use this. To reiterate, first check and test the battery, charge if needed, check the fuse/electrics.
Master Brake Cylinder
Remove the handle and then there should be a snap ring inside the body that holds everything in. It is spring loaded, so watch out.
Try cleaning any corrosion or paint out of the bore behind the snap ring before you try to get it apart, so that the piston doesn't get wedged in after you take out the snap ring.
How do i remove the fuse box?
You don't take the fender off, you just have to slide it back a little. There is enough play in the wiring harness to the fuse box to allow you to do that.
Ignition switch
Worn ignition barrel, or maybe the key is worn. Do you have a 2nd key try that 1. Maybe the key you are using has a slight bend in it.
