Carb cleaner issue?

VTXorcist · 07-24-2009, 10:07 AM

I may have done something dumb. I bought some carb cleaner, the kind you put in the gas tank. I had a little over 3/4 of a tank left. I put in about half the bottle of carb cleaner. Then, I changed the spark plug. Now, the bike won't start. It turns over but won't catch. Is it possible I diluted the gas too much with the carb cleaner?

Feel free to ridicule me as appropriate to the level of folly associated with these actions.
