If you just filled it up, are you sure you filled it up with gasoline and not something else? :) Or perhaps you got some bad gas? Run some carb cleaner or dry gas through it..I had a very similar sounding problem and apparently that was my problem..filled up with bad gas. :dunno:

get some starting spray take airbox out and spray a bunch directly in carbs...bet it starts right up, and dies once that stuff burns away.  If this happens...check fuel routing and petcock.

no there was still oil in it and the light wasnt on so im assuming it wasnt that, i did a oil change right after there were no filings or anything in the old oil, im gonna run some carb cleaner threw it and put some new gas in it and hopefully that fixes it, that plugs were a little white when u pulled them out so i think there was ater in the gas or it was running lean.

Thanks for the tips
