Title: Flooded?????
Post by: Puunjob on February 18, 2004, 12:26:48 PM
I got a battery tender pluged it in tested the spark plugs they now spark just fine and when i was testing for hydrolock (took out the plugs started the bike felt air come out of the holes as the engine cranked) the bike seemed to crank just fine.  But when i put the plugs back in it wouldn't crank any more one attempt and then the bike died did I flood it. and how would I be able to tell/fix it

Yep, you flooded it.

Turn the throttle WFO! And crank it, no choke, for a few seconds. Try not using so much choke. Just back it off a little.
