Is it carbed or injected?
Sounds like it is carbed and the hi speed jet is plugged. I would put a heavy shot of seafoam in it start it let it run a little, then let is sit for a few hours then try again, if you are tool handy you can take it out and clean it, but in many cases it will clear itself up with some seafoam and a little time.
Next rule, dont let it sit that long without running or having a heavy shot of fuel stabalizer in it.

Like has already been said, it's either the main jet plugged or the carb slide is stuck. It's a pain to get the carb removed and reinstalled on the Eiger so I would try adding a sea foam to the tank first. If that doesn't work pull the carb take bottom bowl off and clean the jets. Take top cover off and make sure slide is functioning properly. Put it back together and reinstall.

after you get it fixed, be sure to turn off the petcock every time you park it, or if it doesn't have one, you can get an in-line add-on from dennis kirk or shadetree or somebody like that.
