For the second time, my tank bag squashed the breather pipe closed which caused an airlock and the peteol streamed out the petrol overflow.

The last time it happened i left it so long (didnt know the cause , nor how to fix it) that the bike/carb remedied itself.

This time it wouldnt start in irene and i had to get towed back to kempton via a little rope (imagine a water skier)

I have some petrol, i have a spark so how do i get the petrol thats flooding the carb (my guess) out , so i can start it .... ?
