Stupid bike

So the bike has been running fine. I fire it up last night for the first time in a week (vegas) and the fucking thing won't run. Its loading up with fuel so bad its filling the airbox. WTF???? This fucking thing is really starting to piss me off.

If gas is flowing freely then my first concern would be hydraulic lock-up. Gas in a cylinder can bend a rod becuase it doesn't compress like air does.

Drain the oil anyway. If it smells like gas then put cheap oil in until you solve the problem. You will have to change out this oil also.

Start with the petcock and move on to the floats. Something is sticking open and it won't run right until that is fixed.

Was the petcock left open?

Is there a fuel pump?

Can you identify one cylinder that has more gas in it than the others?

Drain lines from tank checked?

Running the bike with a rich mixture will discolor your exhaust pipes. If you have two mufflers is one changing color?
