97 shadow will not start
 

I bought a 1997 honda shadow with 481 miles. It sat for 10 years. I drained the gas tank andput fresh gas in and it still won't start. It starts with starting fluid through the air box and then dies. What could the problem and if I need parts where can I get them for cheap? Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

try cleaning out your carburetors first, need to take them apart to clean. not shoot cleaning fluid through. It has a coke build up on the slide tubes. Good that the engine runs with starter fluid, engine is not frozen up.
