Hi all

I just flooded the bike and am trouble shooting. If the plugs are wet, and I pull them to check for spark the usual way, wouldn't I still get spark? I don't seem to have any.

Thanks in advance.

Yes. It would be really weak but there would be spark. What do you mean by "the regular way" by the way?

Also... You likely flooded the bike BECAUSE you have no spark. Check wiring/coils/battery/etc.

I knew the battery was weak but seems to have responded well to a charge. Cranks very well and for a long time. Doesn't seem to go dead quickly.

As for checking for spark. I usually just remove the plug, reinsert into the plug cap and hold agains the engine while cranking. I can't see any spark. I saw it for a second then nothing.

I did notice that if I leave the petcock set to on fuel now drips out of the drain tubes. Imight have stuck floats.
