I spent today fitting a Gi Pro which went fine, but needed to fire the engine a few times which was ok.She fired up perfectly as normal. Anyway job done, tank and seat back,ready for test run. Woulden 't start so I pulled the plugs and as suspected they were soaked in petrol. Question is...............what do I do now? Just wait for a day or two or is there anything that can be done?

| Full throttle, (fast idle off if it's a gen 1) and crank it in bursts of maybe 10 secs. The high volume of air that then gets sucked in will dry out the plugs and it should start after a few attempts. |

I have the same gear indicator on mine, not much choice for places to mount it, I have mine on top above the clocks on a little bracket ------------- Road Racing Ireland, Do It Between The Hedges |
