Procedure for cleaning the combustion chambers of buell

[lukesw]

Does anybody know or ever heard about this:

engine off, accelerator wide open, turn the key to on without turning on the bike hold the gas knob fully open the engine light starts flashing on the dashboard, keep accelerated until the light turns off, than turn the key off and close the trottle ... job done ...

You think it will work?

What is it supposed to do? [confused] Or should I say how is it supposed to do it?

I guess i dont understand what this does?

It just removes excess fuel from a flooded engine. I don't think it "cleans" anything, per se.

How exactly does it remove the fuel from a flooded engine? I just cant see it. I would like to know how if thats the case so I can remember this down the road.

The way it works is like this:

Set killswitch to run.
Go WOT
Turn the key on.
Wait for engine light to go off.
Turn the key off.

It fires the spark plugs for 4 seconds, burning any excess fuel in the combustion chamber. It can frequently "unfoul" a "fouled" plug.

i didnt know you could do that.

looking around it seems that's for 2008+ bikes; fires the plugs to clear any flooding...

Just wondering if it really works and if it is usefull ...

If you don't mind me asking, where/how did you find out about this?

It's been posted on a variety of other boards before.
