Werd to that. Are you switching the petcock to off when you're not riding it?

What happened between the last time it started and now. Based on the flooded question, I'd guess it tipped?

No tipping.
And the petcock is always on.
I am gonna assume that's bad.

Mines allways on, IVe had no problems, but if some stuff is worn out in it.....

I haven't even sold the last one yet.

But at any rate the cylinders must have been flooded because I set the stick to off and started it with some violent shaking on my part and soon enough the b1tch was running.

Did that a few times.
Also some rather loud cursing and uttering of threats of violence, and condemnations to hell.

Boy I wish machines could feel pain.
I don't think they'd give us half the problems they did if they could...
