It's likely that excessive fuel was for whatever reason being allowed past the float valves, evidenced by air filter soaked in fuel and fuel-contaminated oil. Has this been corrected?SpectreRob750 wrote: I replaced my spark plugs, battery, fuel, and replaced the air filter. It ran, but was erratic in the idle and would heat up and rev up on its own. I deleted the "EPA vacuum paraphernelia" (as advised by Patton) and removed the air filter (soaked in fuel since I left the gas valve open for 2 nights). The oil was contaminated so I changed that and the oil filter. Also, I removed the plugs and cleaned them, tested them for spark and put them back in. The bike seems like it wants to start, will barely start with starter fluid, but will not turn over on its own. Any ideas as to why this thing won't start up?
Good Fortune!
