Great catch mrlmd1. :oops:

Or did you just call me stupid :shocked: :shocked:

:2tup:

Edit: Last week I rode with my riding buddy Ed.

Ed has about 13 daily rider bikes. This day he was on a 2008 Yamaha XT 250. It would not start, but he has a long downhill street that he can roll down to start it. Saying that to say this, if he does not run the carb empty, or drain the float bowl on shut down, it will not start the next time.

It is the nature of the beast.

It really does not take a lot to flood these small singles, that's why I said check the plug 1st.
