Re: Bike won't start/only runs while tilted

My bike was running perfectly fine before I rode it a quarter mile in the rain so I don't think any of the proposed solutions will work. I just want to know what the hell did I f*ck up to make it only run when the choke is out and down on its kickstand.

Bike won't start/only runs while tilted

There is a long story to why this happened but I'll just tell you what the problem is. I rode the bike in the rain yesterday for about a quarter mile (I only needed to go a half mile to my house) and all of a sudden the bike quit. I thought I ran out of fuel, however, after filling the tank today th...
