Fouled plugs..

[49Reo]

Mine did that this spring, it flooded, I dried it out, it flooded, backfired, (which took care of any cholesterol plugs floating around in my arteries) finally I pulled all the plugs, disconnected the battery, went back after about an hour, hooked up the battery, put the plugs back in, away it went. Seems it got some kind of a "glitch" in its little electronic brain; disconnecting the battery cleared the glitch, pulling the plugs let it dry out good.

My 2 cents worth for the morning.

Almost sounds like it's flooding out....hmmmm

Run the fuel out and try a fresh tank from a different gas station.

Ok, about a week after I chimed in on the no start problem thread, mine became hard to start sometimes..

It spun over easily, but would not catch, until i spun over several seconds, and held the throttle about 1/4 open. I have never had to use the choke lever, it always starts, regardless of the temp.

I followed my own advice, and bought a new sealed battery, and had the same thing again.

It didn't do it all the time, just every now and then.
After it started I ran it for a minute or 2.

On a whim, I pulled a plug, it was fouled and wet.

Fuel injected, Stock exhaust, stock ignition, it is missing the cold weather solenoids, but other than that, no mods I am aware of..

I replaced the plugs, but have not ridden it yet..

The plugs were about a year old.

Any ideas?  Suggestions?
