hi guys. I'm new to the forum as to Gasgas four strokes. Bought a new -05 FSE450 that had been sitting at the dealer's. Got a very nice price.

Anyway, I was going to ride it for the first time today, but it would not start. After jogging the starter motor a serious number of times, it started to pump up crank oil into the airbox. I removed the plug after 20 minutes, and it was clogged, measured 50 kilo-ohms from electrode to ground. I managed to clean it and then it fired up immediately. It ran for 30 sec, then it stopped. After that I failed to start it.

Since it was dark outside I did not notice the oil overflow at first, but it was not just dripping. It must have pumped out half a liter, 1/8 of a gallon. This can't be normal? Have the dealer overfilled it?

flybars: any success with your modification?
