Okay, so a little background info. Shes carbed. I noticed as the season got closer to an end, she would have more and more trouble starting. I chalked this up to the cold weather, (if anyone could clear this up for me it would be much obliged). This was my first issue. There would be times, after having ridden and it sat while I was in class for a few hours, that I would come back out and she could not ignite. I would follow the manual’s steps of a flooded engine and open the throttle as I hit the starter which then in turn she would catch, and I would immediately close the throttle and play with the choke as she would already be running high rpms because of the ‘boost’ you could say I gave her when I opened the throttle on the start. I hope that makes sense and am curious as to what may have been happening that caused me to have to do such a thing.
That being said, I put her away and not even three weeks later, she was in a unheated garage I came to her and she would not start. I could not get her running but it was not the battery but I still hooked her up to a battery tender anyways. Then I returned from school once again, another three weeks later and tried the most recent time, with a full battery and have a hard time believeing the fuel has gone bad. It could not have gone bad just three weeks from the last time I rode it and the issues persisted but even a total of 5-6 weeks until where I am now I do not think it could have gone bad. Could anyone diagnose what is going on from the video I attached. Thank you!
