Yes, could be flooded take the spark plug out and crank it and hopefully the motor will turn over. If it does gas might squirt out due to the flooding which kept it from turning over locked it up. Also before you put the spark plug back in test to make sure it is getting spark.
Clean it up and put it back into the COil Boot and hold it against the Motor or valve cover and crank it. If it sparks your good so put it back in and try to start it.

If pressing the start button still gives you just clicks test the solenioid out. Jump the two terminals on the Solenoid if it turns your starter your Solenoid it bad. If it doesn't turn your starter it could also be a very weak battery.

and when turning over make sure the spark doesn't ignite the gas that might be in on top of the piston...I set my lawn mower on fire a week or two ago doing that!

There's a nut on the fan, I think it's 17mm. Pull your plug and try to turn the nut clockwise. If it turns there's something wrong with the start mechanism locking, if it won't there's some serious internal problems. Rich

Break that sucker in ...don't be WOT it... until after 100 miles...

Drive it in stop and go traffic for an hour and then let it cool down and repeat...

thanks im not WFO'in it yet(wondering if the crank/bottom end will hold up with the increase to 80 cc's? i'd trust it on a honda we used to get Xtreme with those and they held up even the old SL70s damn i'm dating myself now hey is that my motor knocking? oops rigor mortis never mind.. dont no about Rice a Roni motors reliablity yet! (time will tell) put another 30 mi on it and dumped the oil so far so good nice day to ride here in nevada 65 and barely a breeze now if we could get rid of the 4 wheelers(cars) off the road haha UPDATE 3/23 have 2nd oil change on "YELLOW FEVER" and 120 miles so far so good nice bottom end and mid range so far and no paranoia yet about the crank..... fun factor? HELL YES! thanks again gang for all the help and glad the people on here are knowledgable and not out bickering and slamming one another!!
