This mornng i went to start my bike after sitting a few days it started fine with the choke on, after it ran a minute or so i backedthe choke off and let it run i walkedaway and came back about 5 minutes later and the bike was off. When i went to start it after that it refused to start, switched the fuel to reserve and still would not start after numerous attempts still nothing. I figured at this point and had flooded the engine, so i let it sit all day came home after work, stillno start. If anyone has any idea or experienced the same problem i would greatly appreciate some insite on the matter, thanks

 

To fix a flooded engine, turn the choke off completely and hold the throttle open all the way. It will eventually start, dont let off the throttle untill it burns off all the excess and starts to rev at 6k+, then slowly let off the throttle untill its stable.

Once you burn off the excess, you may have to apply choke to get it to stay running. You may have to hook the battery up to a charger to get it to start.

 

May want to check your spark plugs are not fouled also.

 

I just checked my sparl plugs, they seemed fine i cleaned them off let them dry and tried starting again but now my the battery is starting to die. I guess no one has ran into this problem? i haven't got much feedback.

 

I just replaced the spark plugs and still the same problem...anyone?

 

Any spark? Sounds electrical to me.

 

When i pull the boot off the plug and put it close to something metal it shoud arc to the metal, correct?

 

No, stick a used but goodspark plug in the spark cap boot.

Then place the plug end (electrode end)on a metal surface and crank the motor.

You should see a good fat blue spark if everything is working right.

FYI - Do Not Hold The Spark Plug While Cranking The Engine !

 

The boot is non conductive, it should not be arcing from the boot to the head if that is what you mean, if it is the caps are toast... If you insert a screwdriver into the boot in place of a spark plug and hold it up to a grounded part of your bike about 1/8" away it should arc, but not through the rubber caps.

 

thanks for the help, i wasn't getting and spark coming from the boot so i got a little worried, anyways I got running again the battery was a little weak i charged it and it started right up then....thanks again.
