I had the same problem a few weeks ago, Like a dumbass i presure washed it and got water down the exhaust, I just stood the bike up on the grab bar for a minute and the water drained out, let it sit for an hour or so and it fired right up! and to drain the gas just unhook the hose from the fuel switch to carb. hose is 3/8 and sould be grey. Hope it help

the freaking drain screw on the carb is stripped out from the previous owner...man what a project this is turning into and all because dad said to wash the dam thing cuz it was getting mud all over his garage

take carb off and unsrew the bowl dump it out and then put it back on and it should work

one time, I washed mine and it didn't start, I took the air hose and found one of the overflow holes on the sides of carb and give it a quick burst until fuel shot out of the other overflow hole

What year is it? If it has the parking brake switch on it these will get waterlogged and cause this problem.

its a 2001 and the previous owner ripped off the parking brake, i took the carb off and just tipped it upside down and let the fuel run out put it back on and it fired right up....now it won't idle so i guess i just have to play around with the idle screw

last time i washed mine it didnt start after, i let it sit until the next day and it fired rite up

i took the carb off and drained it and it fired right up but now i gotta retune the carb....i found on here that the fuel air screw should b a turn and a half out but what about the idle cuz i've been messing with it for awhile now and can't seem to get it dialed in right
