Hi;

I have a flooded combustion chamber and now it won't fire up. It's running on three cylinders. It happened when I choked the bike, started it and then turned it off after only 5 seconds of running time. I should have let it warm up but it's too late to talk about that. Is there an easy way to get this to fire up again? I don't want to keep runing it because gas will just poor into the block/oil. Any suggestions?

Thanks

 

you probably fouled out a spark plug. Go get some new ones and by the time you get back and change them it will fire right up.

 

The plug is definately floweled. But you might not have to replace the plug. Might as well remove them all while your in there and clean them off with some electric cleaner / brake cleaner. Make sure they're completly dry and reinstall. If you can easily do it, squirt just a little oil in the cylinder that was not firing before putting the plug back in. This will increase the compression of the cylinder in case the walls were washed down from the extra gasoline. Not a must but it will definately help. Then it should start right up. Def. save you some money right there.

 

Thanks for the advise guys. Turns out I let it rest for a couple of days and voila, it ran perfectly again. I guess the gas evaporated or ran down and when she fired up and now all is well.
