Trouble starting my Roughhouse 50 after it has rained.

Post by LRonHubbub »

It's happened a few times and it's always gotten going, but currently can't get it to turn over.

Any ideas? Tips?

Thanks!

A quick shot of starting fluid down the carb throat always gets mine going after a winter layup.

Starting fluid and WOT. Also an uncovered R50 after a good downpoor can get water in the gas tank. Normally presents with a good idle but bogging on acceleration
