clearing a flooded engine (dirtbike)

[gimp]

You tried jump-starting it? I used to do that when my bike wouldn't start. Just roll down a hill in second gear, get some speed, then let go of the clutch. Sometimes that will get it to turn over. I'm not sure if it's good for the bike but it works.

Dont buy synthetic oil for the bike, it will cause your clutch to slip under heavy loads. I replaced a good set of clutch plates because of slipping caused by Castrol 4X4 blend. I had the same problem with the new ones and asked my local shop why the new clutch was slipping and first thing they asked was if I used Synthetic, then told me to drain and use regular oil. The Synthetics have extra lubricator's that dont like clutch plates.
