Ok. I took my new battery back, apparently it was bad, wasn't holding the charge, whatever. Hopefully it wasn't something with my bike that did it. Have a new new battery now and my bike started right up and ran (tentatively) for about 30 seconds when I realized I didn't have the choke on. Giving it some choke killed the engine. Now I can't get it to start again. Replaced the spark plug. Drained more gas from the carb, (out of the screw, is that the right way?) which actually looks quite clean now. Hesitant to drain the tank again because I don't have anything to put it in but will if you guys think it will get me started. Does gas coming out of the carb overflow when on prime mean I'm floading the carb for is something blocked? Only happens on prime but is that normal? Haven't gotten any starter fluid yet, was hoping a good battery would do the trick. And how long and often can you hold that starter button before you burn it out?!? Thanks everyone!
