I have a VMAX SX 600 Triple that hasn't been run in a few years and I know wasn't put away properly. So I imagine I should drain the old gas and replace with new. What is the easiest way to do that? Should the carbs have anything done to them? What else should I be doing to get this running again?
Last time this sled was used it didn't handle very well. Very squirrelly in the front. Should I be thinking about replacing the front skis or what? What is the best way to learn how to adjust the rear suspension on this machine?
What is the overall feeling about this snowmobile? Was it a good sled? Pro's/Con's?
Thanks for your help.

Definitely replace the fuel and clean the carbs. (use the soak and blow out with compressed air method)
Check that the wear bars on the skis are good first before making any adjustments to the suspension.
