More than likely. You turned the choke on, right? How new is your battery?

Sorry about not replying. Forgot to check back, haha. Well I finally got it to start yesterday, took a nice little ride. Not exactly sure what the cause was. The coke was on, and the battery is fairly new because I bought the bike new in September 08.
I have a feeling the bike wasn't burning the fuel to get it started. Maybe I semi flooded the carbs by not turning off the fuel line right after I got off the bike last time I rode. But what happened was that both times (both days) I tried starting the bike, and it fired up for one second then died right after. So I held the throttle open next try, and then full throttle the following tries. I'm thinking I didn't help by holding full throttle when trying to start the bike because it may have been flooding the bike with more fuel than it could burn when trying to start it and never got it started. Finally got it started yesterday when it was warmer and I didn't hold the trottle open all the way.
