Went out for a practice last nite and flooded my mates pickup with fuel

i have got into the bad habit of leaving the fuel on

WATCH OUT the bike was a bit further over than normal,i could smell petrol

on inspection fuel was dripping out all over.

I tried in vain to start it at my practice spot (yes i was a bit miffed)

when i got home without a ride, i found about a mug full of petrol in the air box (and i had tried to bump start ,BANG,)just aswell it did not start.

after stripping the carb no muck or problembs where evident.

I did ishys hot start mod while i was in there.

put it all back together and it started first kick

Lessons re learned TAKE YOUR TOOLS WITH YOU

TURN THE FUEL OFF

By the way the hot start mod seems to work a treat, I will do a trial and let you know

so your keeping the 4t then dixie?

can't say my 'fuel injected' mont suffers with these problems

I can't take any credit for the hot start mod, I think that was RE500's idea.
