yamaha it175 wont run...

[Joeschmo]

K i was riding it this weekend and it keep leaking out of the overflow valve (dumass me) didnt know it was that at first. So i plugged it up because i didnt think that the floats were off because it would fire right up and never flood. So when i plugged it it flooded and would take a while to run. Then this morning it wouldnt run period and all this raw gas was coming from the magneto cover? and from the exhaust(i know its got a hole) but i dunno y it would be coming from the magneto cover and y it doesnt even fire anymore... plz help because its far away and its hard to order parts because there is no yamaha dealership around thanks for your help. :bang: :bang: :bang:

ok, this could be a combination of things that have occured...
Did you leave your fuel tap on? If you did, and your floats are off, and you have plugged off your overflow, then fuel is just going to run straight into the engine till it fills, so you most likely have your Crankcase and cylinder full of fuel. After trying to start it, fuel would have been pumped into the exhaust by the piston (would explain the leak from the exhaust pipe).
About the Magneto cover leaking fuel?, i wouldn't have a clue as to why this would happen. The Magneto shouldn't have anything in their (fuel or oil). But, this could also be shorting out your bike, stopping it from starting.
hope any of this helps or is relevant.

yah its still got spark so ill just say that nothing happened with the magneto cover maybe it was just run off thats prolly what it was because i couldnt really look into it because i had to be somewhere at a certain time but what are the things that could of happened? should i keep kicking it over wiht the gas off so it becomes empty(cylinder)
