HI all

Brad, I suggest you list your location in your signature which you can create/edit within your profile. If you were close to me, I could ride over and have a look. You have mentioned a bunch of times you are not a mechanic but we do have some mechanically inclined folks hanging around who would be willing to help. There just isn't enough info to make many educated guesses at this point as to why the bike isn't starting.

Well im in valdosta Georgia if anyones around here and wants to have a look that would be great

i took out the spark plugs they looked oil fouled black and sooty smelled of gas replaced all the plugs drained a massive amount of overfilled oil out and it cranked right up i just hope that all that oil is what is causing the plugs to foul and not a messed up gasket somewhere letting oil in to the pistons (???)

:ohmy: :ohmy:
That oil didnt smell like gas did it? I think I would change my oil if it was so far off.

yes the oil did kinda smell like gas what does this mean?

Welcome, I have found that if the oil smells like gas, your bike may have sat for quite a while with the fuel tap on, causing the cylinders to fill with fuel which will leak down past the rings. Several of my bikes have done this and once I changed oil everything was fine. Hope this helps.
