Well I just finished putting in the clutch cable, and the bike still didn't start. But as soon as I had someone push me and I poped the clutch it started, but sounded like it was flooded out. And as soon as I put the clutch in it died? Anyone have any ideas? Thankyou

89,
If you reckon its flooded out run the engine in neutral till it dries out, put the battery to charge over night then try again at a proper start (be sure the battery has electrolyte in it and is not dry, if it is dry your Voltage reg is dead and should be replaced)
