I just parked my bike on a hill all day today. When i tried starting it up to leave, my bonne would start but when i tried the throttle, it would die out. With the choke all the way out, it didn't want to hi-rev like it would normally do. well, i just left it running for a while with the choke out and it eventually hi-reved after minutes.

Any tips on starting up a bike when flooded. I recall the manual saying that start it with the throttle all the way back, but that didn't work.

i don't want this to happen again, nor do i want to wait long to leave after i start up.

shoots. thanks for all teh info.

Turn the petcock off when you park and the problem goes away.

To start a flooded bike:
-turn the throttle wide open and hold it there
-pull plug wires and crank engine over several times
-release throttle and plug wires back on
-crank with no throttle and should go
