WASHINGTON state Disabled VETERAN needs maintenence HELP

Good afternoon. I am a long time Gold Wing owner, and have a 'situation.' I became disabled after being injured while flying with the U.S. Coast Guard. I have rehabbed enough to be able to ride, but my 1994 Aspencade has been sitting for a couple years without being ridden or started. I've tried the gas additive hoping to get the sticky junk unstuck, but I'm now in need of real maintenence for my bike. I am not able to tackle it myself anymore, though I wish I could. Is there a Wing riderin the Seattle/Issaquah/North Bend corridor that might recommend someone? When I first moved here from my last duty station in Sacramento, CA I tried I-90 Motorsports, but the bike just didn't really run smoothly, so I was hoping for two things; I was hoping not to have to spend another thousand dollars to get it running, and I was hoping to help someone who needed the work. I so appreciate any assistance you might offer. This site is such a gold mine!

If you can get the air filter out I would check the carb slides. They may be sticking. Just move them with a finger and see if they run free a smoothly. If not, hit em with a generous shot of WD40 and work them back and forth. Then a bath of seafoam or a shot of carb cleaner.
