Default Bike fell over and wont start

So i was being dumb and set my bike on some wet grass and was told about 30 minutes later that my bike fell over on its left side. When i tip it back over it immedietly started leaking gas at the bottom of the fairing but stopped after 10 seconds. When i tried to start it it would crank for a second or less then do nothing but click. After looking around online people say a tip over safety thing may have shut off the fuel valve. So i tried the kill switch thing and still the clicking when i try to start. Any ideas would be awesome on what i should do.

1991 cbr f2

your carbs sound flooded and your battery cable mighta jumped loose. Id wait like 45 minutes and have everything go to normal on its own. its like when my buddy lays his bike down on his cage in his r6 it starts funny

I wouldn't be surprised if it was just a weak battery, sounds a bit like there's not enough juice to crank the engine properly. Do you know if your battery is good? Maybe borrow one you know works and that might get you're bike running again.

Did you get it started yet? Like jank said let it sit, and try again. No tip over on f2's.

Let us know how it goes..

One thing to check is the vacuum line going to the side of the petcock. I was surprised how easily it popped off from it's place when I lifted the tank.
