Was in a bit of a hurry this morning, and didn't let my K warm up as usual before taking off, rode about two mins (with the choke/throttle advance) still in the halfway spot, only to realize I didn't have my rain pants on. Pulled to the side, but didn't manage to grab the throttle soon enough to save the engine spluttering and dying. Gave it a few flicks afterwards, but no luck. Pushed her back home.
Tried again in the evening, she spluttered a bit, but didn't catch. After a (quite a) few attempts with varying splutters but no real success, gave up and went back in.
From my reading around here, it sounds like I have gone and flooded my plugs?
I'll pull them out in the morning, but I doubt I can get fresh ones right away.
What's the best way to recover from (hypothetical) wet plugs? (No propane torch, but we do have a gas stove
)
Thanks,
