GN125 Need Help

[berfaboy77]

Hi Fella's,
I have just bought a Suzuki GN125 to get me in and out to work. I seem to have flooded the engine or the spark plugs, as the transmission won't start. My question is, how do i sort this?

Also there is a turnkey beside the choke under the tank, with On/SR/Fuel, which option should it be generally set at for running the bike, & is the fuel option for when I am low on petrol?

Thanks in advance

Buy a bigger bike...
Not certain about the flooding so I won't try just in case you blow up. Only joking, you shouldn't blow up really...
Never run on reserve unless you have no petrol and need to get to a petrol station. If you do you start to splutter and find out that you have absolutely no juice left. Happened to me once, but was blessed to be right outside a petrol station! Don't run on off either, because you won't exactly get much performance out of it, if you know what I mean. I hope this might help

For a flooded engine. Either :

Leave it to sit whilst you have a cup of tea and a smoke then go try again.

or

Switch the fuel off, switch the choke off. Hold the throttle wide open and repeatedly kick it over. Snap the throttle closed when it fires up or it will rev its knackers off.

If you have some tools, take the sparkplug out, dry it off and clean it. Replace and try again. Repeat until starts.

Fuel tap to 'on' (down) for normal use, 'off' (forwards) when it is parked and 'reserve' (backwards) when you run out.
