Water in the carby? Stuffed electrics? Stator Plate stuffed?

 

[bilko71]

hey man wtf is a stator plate

 

[daniel40]

its like part of the flywheel.

 

[Sidney]

Don't ask me lol. I just know it can fark up after being wet

 

[bilko71]

man can the pistons go

 

[bilko71]

would it matter if the air filter gets wet

 

[daniel40]

yes because you could get water in the carby clean out your carby and then try start it.

 

[benox]

Bilko, I can understand your very worried.
If the air filter is wet, Water has most likely gone straight into the carby. Take the bowl off and clean it out, or just leave it to dry.. Overnight then give it a kick in the morning, see how she goes aye?

Dont worry, its most likely nothing serious.. Just probably got shitloads of water in it aye

 

[bilko71]

wen water is in the carby does your bike still start
and normally wen i tried to kick the bike over without alot of power with my foot it kicks back up and now it dont do it y doesnt it kick back up

 

[daniel40]

you might not have any compression so you may have done something inside the engine.

 

[Sidney]

clean out the carby already

 

[bilko71]

mait i dont have me bike i left it down the bush in me maits cubby

 

[Pittin]

mait i dont have me bike i left it down the bush in me maits cubby

Jeez what a safe place to keep it.....

 

[Flarry]

Its normal for it to stop kicking back after about a month, thats not loss of compression.

 

[bilko71]

yer but it was kicking back like wen i started it

 

[ChRiIiS]

bros bike had the same prob wouldnt start for about 15 mins coffin n splatterin and bit later it worked as suggested clean carbie and air filter and try and create a wall infront of ure electrics and filter so future problems dont happen

 

[bilko71]

ok but it wont evan like kick over or anything not evan like fludded or anything

 

[cass38a]

Let it dry out for a day or so and then kick it and see if it starts. I doubt that it is anything serious so stop worring about pistons etc. It will be wet eletrics or fuel. If it dosent start when its dry then go thru the motions ie.
check spark and rectify if none then check fuel and so on.

Can I suggest you remove the spark plug and tip the bike over to empty the bore. There's a chance you got some water into the bore thru the carby. Water does not compress, might be why it kicks back .. its on the compresion stroke. Don't leave it. The longer you wait you'll wreck the engine. Clean out the carby too.

Remove the plug and tip it over to drain, check it out anyway. If you do find water let it drain and then hose it down with WD40 or dewatering fluid in a can, then drain it again. Put plug back in and then try starting it.

Hope that helps
