I just pulled the plug, disconnected the vacuum line on petcock & drained carb bowl. Spun it over a few times & let sit. Hopefully when I do get it running, this doesn't happen again. Bystarter not closing cause this? I tested it & the needle does protrude out. I'll check it to see if there is an o ring at the end & remove it.

Self mixing, how would this be possible? Does oil come out even when just cranking it over? Gear being engaged on oil pump?

Double checked to see if I have spark, nice strong blue sparks!! Put on the vacuum line, filled carb bowl & tried to go. Nope. If I listen closely i can hear a liquid in the crank. So looks like I'm diving deeper & taking more apart. I could tip the bike but have to remove oil & gas tanks. I'm almost there, again.

Oil


Short vid

Has been sitting for a few days to dry out, going to tip it over to see if any residual oil drips out from jug. Then I'll put it back together & try to start it. Reeds looked good from the top. Couldnt really get it out to see the bottom/stoppers, should that be a definite thing to check?

Power tower tipping

Reed looks good, flaps open & close good. Now I need a new gasket or make one.

if you look do you see light coming around the reeds look on the side that gose to the carb ...

Nope, no light. Maybe i'll get lucky & it will fire this weekend with all this taking apart & cleaning/inspecting.

pull the plug if wet leve out the plug and roll the living out of the motor to dry it out...if dry put a fue drops ( 10 or so ) of gas in the hole and try it again... have you done a compression test on it???
swimmingfree

try kicking it over ... do you have spark???

Spark, yes. Psi, 118.

So I need to recheck my compression test, why?
Because I might have a worn cylinder. Somebody else had same issue with starting. Everything else was fine but a slightly worn cylinder. It took a good number of starts to build up to that psi. It should get to at least 90psi in a second or two. Does this make sense? If so, might be my issue. I can get 118psi but takes a few more presses of start button than it probably should to build up my psi. I will redo it and see what psi I get to within the first burst of start button.
