Hey
I'm new to riding bikes. Two days ago my uncle gave me his 250 Honda rebel. I took it for a few drives around the neighborhood just to practice. Yesterday I went to a friend's house a few blocks away with it. I noticed I drove all the way there with the choke on. It was only a few minute ride, but I know I should turn it off after I get going. When I went to start it again it wouldn't turn over. It sounded like a flooded engine. The more I tried the more tired it sounded. I gave up and rolled it home. Let it sit overnight and went to try it this morning. No go again. I think it's flooded. I know this could cause me to possibly have to do an oil change if my oil got diluted.
I have also made sure the petcock is on and not on off, and it has gas in it. I would just like some knowledge on what the actual problem is, or if I got the problem right. If it is flooding I would also like to know the procedure on how to fix it. Thank you everyone.
