I think my bike is flooded. Motorcycle help.?

Question:
What can I do if I think I have flooded the engine and the bike won't kickstart?

Why spokes are not arranged perpendicular to rim of motor cycle rather than at angle?


I'll do about two kicks, get nothing going, then on the third kick it will almost start. It comes so close but doesn't stay running. Then the next twenty kick it does nothing at all.
What do I do?

Check plugs. If they don't look like they should, clean or replace them.

After it tries to start and quits (if it does after checking plugs), remove a plug and see if it's wet with gas. If it is, check to make sure you are getting a decent spark.

Wait a bit before kicking again to let the flooded gas dissipate...if flooding is the culprit.

If you still have problems, you might want to inspect the carbs. Or maybe a good cleaning is all they need.

Stolen motorcycle (vin #?)?

Always give year, make, engine size and model # when asking questions. We need all of that info to give an informed answer.
2 stroke & 4 stroke engines can have different solutions to similar problems.
If it's a 2 stroke - change the spark plug - check the cylinder compression - clean the jets in the carb - clean the air cleaner.

Where I live there is an alternative hearse! For bikers - have you heard of this or something similar?

Turn off the ignition switch, so it can't start, then using the kick start, pump it a few times. That will clear the fuel in the line, without putting more fuel in. Then let it stand for a minute, turn on the ignition switch, and try starting it again, without giving it gas. It should start up like normal.

go with the 1st answer float might be stuck flooding it out tear down carbs and clean if flooding is the case . pull a plug lay it against the side of the head and kick it over if you dont have a blue spark chances are that it probably wont run and will flood out the plug by not burning the fuel it was given

If it doesn't start pull spark plug and see if it's wet. If it's wet, probably flooded. If it's dry, not flooded.
