If you haven't done so, add a bottle of FI cleaner to a full tank of gas and also add a quart of upper cylinder wall lube, like Marvel Mystery Oil, 2 cycle oil, or just synthetic motor oil to your full tank. Any of my engines that sit from more than a couple of months get this treatment when going back into service.

I've added some.FI cleaner but just about 1/4 bottle beings I haven't been able to get it to the gas station to fill the tank. I drained what has i could out of it but I'm sure there was some left in there. I added about 3 or so gallons after that. I've messed with timing over and over thinking that was the problem but I don't think that's the case now.

so I think I have a fuel problem. I pulled the filter to change it and there was rust gas coming out.. so next weekend I'm going to pull the tank and see what looks like. also probably gonna go ahead and put new injectors and fuel lines in as well
