on a 250ex in 1st gear if you keep the front end up to long wheeling would it flood out i have seen people go on the grab bar they would flood out but they have kick starts what if like my 250ex if u have electric start how would u go about starting it after it floods out

thanx JR

Typically the quad only sits there for a few seconds so you just bring it back down and start it up like normal....it might turn over a couple times more than usual but it shouldn't have a problem starting.

If it's extremely flooded you hold the starter button in and pin the throttle and that usually takes care of it.

thanx a lot i jus asked that cause i saw a kid on a mojave mess up and stand it straight up and he flooded the engine and had trouble getting it started

i thought that when an engine flooded there was too much fuel? wouldnt the carb drain and there not be enough fuel when standing it up?

If you stand it up while sitting down... just fall back after it has completely stopped (I learned this the hard way cause the quad was still movin and my kill switch didnt come un-done yet and it almost flipped backwards). Push it back down..... Wait about 2 minutes....... try starting the quad again.

I dont think Ive met a person who stood up their quad and wasnt able to get it started again..... unless you just let the quad sit there and let all the fuel drain out

you cannot do a first gear wheelie for a long time unless u got really good brake control, cough cough like me, cough cough, jus do it in 2nd gear, and when u stand it up push it down and push the start button it aint to hard

i dont think it floods when u put it on the back bar for a min, if u try first gear wheelies its gonna happen, especially standing on the bar,
