Last year when i hurt my arm and knew riding was done for the year (1st week in June it was ) I went and draing all then tanks and carbs on all my bikes as is the suggested long term storage as is mentioned in the manuals.
Well today I went and dumped a gallon of gas in the 78 1000E, full choke, and lit in an instant with all 4 pipes coming to temp like normal. Ran like the day I drained them without even the slightest hint of a problem with throttle or power. Do it right and you too will restart your bikes without hesitation or problems. All I had to do was check the tire pressures to be sure they were up to par.
