First off, I am no mechanic. I can manage to change a filter here and there, but that is about the extent of it.
Started having issue w/ Yamaha 2008 Big Bear 400 cranking. There was a clicking noise that would happen from time to time w the starter solenoid. Most times it would eventually crank. Well, a couple months ago, it stopped cranking and I finally got around to changing out the solenoid, but battery was dead. Charged battery and tried to crank it. Liquid came out of air filter box. Removed cover and found the box about half full of gas. Drained and letting everything dry off before attempting to crank again.
Any idea, why?? Did the carb leak that much fuel into the box? Was if from many, many, many attempts to crank w/ the bad solenoid and fuel just passing through the carb w/o burning off. I am at a loss...
