nklr how do i get oil stains off concrete driveway?

Hey everyone I just joined this club I'd just like to say whats up to everyone. I also just bought a 1984 Kawasaki KLR600 and I'm having some problems with it. I was hoping one of you had an 84 KLR or a similar year bike, so i might be able to get this thing up and running. I recently bought a 1984 Kawasaki KLR600. When i bought it it didn't run, and now it runs sometimes. The bike has been sitting for probably a decade. My friends and I have been kicking it over and over trying to get it to start with no luck. I replaced the oil to the correct amount, filled the tank with gas, cleaned the carb, made sure the CDI was free of rust, put a new plug in it (the correct one), and tested it to make sure it was getting spark. It gets spark all the time, but sometimes it sounds as if it doesn't. The only way it will even sound like its trying to start is to spray gas into the rear end of the carb where the boot connecting the carb to the airbox would be. Then it will pop and turn over, and sometimes run for a few seconds before dying on its own. It is getting gas, the line isn't clogged and neither is the fuel valve. I have cleaned the carb so many times I could do it with my eyes shut. I have been asking everyone, and I have people telling me its the compression, the carb, the timing, and the pilot circuit? When I bought it the previous owner had said it needed a new head, but I figured this was false because I have ridden the thing around once when it actually ran and pulled wheelies with it fine. I don't know what a pilot circuit is, if I did I would have cleaned it. I pulled apart every visible jet and piece of the carb and cleaned it, because I have narrowed the problem down to the carb.The compression seems OK, but I do not have a compression gauge to check. I am also only using a factory manual, which doesn't tell me much about anyhting. Does anyone know where I could get a manual for this bike? Please help, I've tried everything and I have

No offense, but this makes it HIGHLY unlikely that you properly cleaned the carb. Sat for 10 years? You need to remove the carb, strip it down completely (especially taking out the idle mix screw) removing every bit of rubber or plastic, and get a gallon can of Gunk carb cleaner. Follow the instructions for submerging the carb, it's usually an hour or so. Do not put anything rubber or plastic into the carb cleaner, even if the cleaner claims it's safe to do so. Then, take the carb to somebody with an air compressor and blow out every passage with 100psi air blasts. Cleaning carbs sucks, that's why shops charge a lot to do it. Having to do it more than once suck more. Devon A15
