Sounds like a pretty easy fix. First get yourself a battery tender to charge up your new battery fully. It needs it or you will be shopping for another in a while. Second is easy too. Go to your local auto parts store and buy some Seafoam. Replace the old gas in the tank with new gas and some Seafoam mixed according to the instructions on the can. Check the tire pressures and go for a ride after an overnight charge on the battery.
