basically what you are doing is airing the carbs out, when you choke a bike you cut off air to the carbs and dump straight fuel into the engine which means you flood it, if done too much, it will put too much fuel in the engine and will cause the plugs to become saturatied with fuel and foul out. holding the throttle open lets air into the engine to help evaperate the fuel.

when you flood a biek too much you will have a strong odor of gas when starting/ turning the engine over

 

If the bike is flooded, turn off the choke, turn the throttle wide open and try and start the bike with the throttle wide open. Standard flooded start routine for carbed engine.

Did you at any time when you were messing with it take off spark plug wires?

 

no i never touched the spark plug wires.

and now that holding the throttlw makes sence. i kinda thought you were messing with me about the thottle being open.

 

DO NOT use the choke when you are attempting to start it from a flood. It will just make it worse.

 

okay. took the plugs out and cleaned them up re gaped them. drained the carb bowls. drained the fuel pump and lines and drained the tank. all old gas gone and now clean plugs and dry cylinders and new gas. do you think the bitch would start nope. i even rewired in the old start stop switch and everything else to make sure that the new one was not the problem. still didn't start.

any new ideas?

 

by chance hae you checked your blinker fluid, flux capacitor

I know my bike wasnt acting right and all it was was the blinker fluid, topped her off, and gave the flux capacitor a few good wacks with a screw driver and she purred like a kitten

 

thanks. any real tries?

 

just went and got some starter fluid and still nothing. i also ordered some coils and i will try those too.

 

come on where are the bike tech guys. help a brother out.

 

if you have spark and fuel, but it still doesn't even try to start.



I'd say its time for a can of gas and a match....
