Problem with gs500e- I think it may be the carbs...

And before you ask - yes, the battery do have juice. I left the charger plugged in overnight.

It's possible to damage a battery by overcharging - hopefully yours is an automatic trickle charger that won't do this.

If u don't smell fuel, or see a puddle of fuel under the bike, then your cylinders probably didn't flood;

but if u want to be safe do what twinrat said and make sure u ground the spark plug wires, and keep your face away from the open plug holes when u crank it ...

btw how old is your bike and battery ?
