[QUOTE="89-300ce, post: 25241, member: 1101"] That would bring you right back to the stuck float that started this whole thing. >>>"The starter simply would not turn it over. I had it in neutral so being in gear was not the culprit. Seems almost as if I had a vapor lock so I put it in gear and rocked it until I noticed the engine turning. I was then able to start it up, but something was not right any more so I drove back home - a 40 mile return. I noticed the smell of unburnt gas on the trip home. Every time I stopped and started, I notice it was hard to get going, but once I got up to cruising speed, things seemed to normalize." >>>"#2 looked wet. All others looked dry." >>>" I drove the bike back home, a 46 mile trip smelling gas and using up a half tank of gas. This last time I took a test drive, I filled it up and drove maybe 12 miles or so and noticed another half tank gone!" Post#7 Maybe it cleared itself out but I would run the carbs dry like Dan suggests and keep an eye on your fuel consumption. If it's still high have a look at your plugs to isolate the carb.
