Need help working kinks out of the GSX

Okay guys... had a few problems with the GSX, but they were expected, the car has been sitting for two years. Problem number one: the car idles fine, and if I go wot, it seems to rev fine, but if I give if just a little gas, it bogs down really bad. I'm thinking TPS but I was going to see if there were any other thoughts. Problem number two: I rebled the clutch and shifting seems to be getting better, but I still can't reach reverse. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Problem #1 sounds like old gas. Somone just had this problem on here like a week ago...

Re: Need help working kinks out of the GSX

I kinda figured that old gas may be part of my problem... I syphoned out as much as I could (too lazy to drop gas tank), and then filled it up with new gas and a couple bottles of heet.

Check the tension of your throttle cable.
