Has it been stood for any length of time?

Not really, it smells like cotton candy to me, but seriously, it doesn't smell like raw unspent fuel. As for the exhausts, I did a pretty good inspection of the cases last night looking at the RC valve function and there wasn't any goo present. I can't speak for how long it's been sitting, but I plan to tear into it tonight and look at the carbs, reeds, and piston skirts.
