  • engine flooding..?

    i have never driven anything with carbs, so i am not 100% this is the issue, but occasionally the kat won't start, even after its been warmed up real nice like. i can hear the electric starter, but the thing just won't ignite.

    i am wondering if kat's are prone to engine flooding..? usually it starts about 10-15 minutes later. i am loathe to try and keep the starter on for too long for fear of draining the battery...

    hey , it happens . If your floats ain't sealing right , too much gas can flow over into the engine ..... I'd pull plugs and see if any look different than the other . If one does , it's a simple carb problem , and you'll know which carb to tinker with . If they're ALL dark , it's a weak sparkproblem likely (or really messed up jetting) .
