well i tried to start my bike awhile back. gave it a couple twist of the throttle, enrichment pulled up, nothing. couple more twist of the throttle, still nothing. pulled the plugs = dry. air cleaner off, put hand over the carb to choke, nothing, checked the plugs = still dry. can see gas squirt in carb. good spark, finally left plugs out and bike sit for 5 or 10 minutes, plugs back i and fired right up. first time ive ever seen a motor flooded and not show up on the plugs, any thoughts.

 

That's a new one on me.

 

No!. Best pretend it didn't happen....

 

I almost lost my coffee on the keyboard with that one.

 

when you flood them like that, no choke and hold the throttle wide open. it should clear the flood and start.

 

Never saw "dry, flooded plugs", must be an ethanol thing or maybe you need an Exorcism!!!! Keep us posted if it happens again.

 

I think it wasn't flooded yet, just needed another twist and a slight throttle opening....that right little place and it will start. Every carb motor (usually with 1-2 cylinders) has it's own little procedude to start (depending on weather/other conditions), like my chain saw, weed eater, lawn mowers, race bikes, etc. Once you learn that little trick it will start. My riding lawn mower's motor will not start until I pour gas into the carb, a bunch. You would think it would be flooded, but loves it! No two are a like!
my 2 cents.

 

well i even put my hand of the carb to choke and nothing. anyway it might of just been a freak thing. ill find out today.

 

That is so weird. My lawnmower won't start until I pour beer in MY throat!!??? It's always the same every time I mow!!??

On the bike it's choke on then half twist on throttle while it's cranking and BAM it catches.

 

BWAHAHA! My mower must be the same brand of ornery bast@rd as yours!
