I think I flooded the carbuerator!!

it shouldn't flood while it was running. whats your float level? have you tried a new plug?

i think that you fouled a plug. blowing on the plug wont stop it from being fouled. i would try putting a new one in.

Generally the carb should be full of gas, it's how they work.

That shutting off the petcock and draining operation was just a waste of time.

You just fouled the plud, as they said above. It happens. Replace and ride.

yea as said before, ive never heard of someone flooding there bike while it was running. you turned the choke off all the way right? out of curiosity(sp) how old was the gas and pre mix you used? try a new plug. go over your manual, make sure its the right plug. did you smell gas when there occured? are you sure it didnt die from another reason, then you started kicking it over, then it flooded?

get the plug that your manual tells you to get.

http://dirtrider.net/forums3/showthread.php?t=92818, Read this a few times. Get the stock plug. What gas oil ratio are you mixing?

wow, a lot of questions in that post. 'll see what i can do.

i mix 40:1 amsoil, i don't really think with a modern oil, in a modern 2-stroke it makes much of a difference. i mix 40:1 strictly because 5 gallons of gas mixed 40:1 is half a bottle of oil. this way you don't have bottles with 4oz in them sitting around. the "R" in the spark plug stands for resistor. as for hotter and cooler plugs. if you puts around a lot on trails it may be beneficial to run a little hotter plug. if you keep it in the powerband, run the recommended. the spark plug cap should just pull off, some are on there tight. but a good pull should take it off. twist it slightly as you pull up. the further out you screw your air screw the more air you let into the mixture. if your rich you bring out the air screw more. the term flooding refers to the combustion chamber its self flooding. if your bike fell on its side, and fuel some how got into the engine it would flood. your carb cannot flood. its made to be flooded with fuel thats how it works. if the fuel level is too high it spills out the overflows. flooding an engine occurs when you get too much fuel in the engine and you cannot get ignition because its oxygen starved. the simplest way to fix a flooded engine, if you flood it starting it just to hold the throttle wide open for a bit. this lets in some air and helps with the flooding. a properly jetted engine will not flood while its running. its possible your main is very rich and your getting too much fuel in and fowling the plug. buy a new plug see if it starts then, and if it still wont run past 1/2 throttle go down a couple sizes on your main jet. see if that makes it better or worse. and just use normal spark plugs. honestly i dont understand these special plugs. you have an atmosphere with the perfect mixture of oxygen and fuel, then you introduce a 1000 degree spark. do you really think it matters if it comes from 4 points at once?

Basic things you should NOT worry or figure about. The premix ratio is there for a reason, it is not your enemy, it does not require messing with. Your sparkplug usually is another thing that is there for a reason and not your enemy. Jetting is what you need to develop, figure, and stay on top of, or you are going to buy a lot of spark plugs! In that little pamphlet they gave you it should have maintenance schedules, if you follow them it will last forever, hopefully! Learn your bike, read your plugs and jet your bike. Most of the time they come rich on bottom from the factory. But it will foul plugs. 4 hours it should be broke in and depending where you live adjust the carb to run crisp, you will no longer be fouling plugs. If all else fails take quality pictures and links of issues.

You can look at your plug for reference. If it is dripping you are way rich!
