motor flooded

jayster · 20/06/2005, 22h34

What is the best way to start the bike if the motor is flooded and does not want to start?

Is it possible to start it by pushing it (pushstart it) if its flooded ? I am actually curious as well... One never knows !

push start!

but you won't be able to do it alone!

it must roll clutch out for a couple of foot at least!

or start at WOT (Wide open Throttle)

I doubt that it will push start if it's flooded.

Let the bike rest so gasoline evaporates at least partially.

The bad thing when this happens is that gasoline might get passed the piston rings and contaminate the motor oil.

Remove the spark plugs and allow them to dry by themsleves.

Now why has it got flooded is the main question here.

Care to share?
