Check your oil too. If you were running it around ultra-rich you want to make sure no excess fuel got into the crankcase to dilute the oil. Don't take a chance.

And next time you might want to pay attention to the smell of your exhaust. I imagine that thing had a pretty rich smell to it riding with the choke on.

Default Rookie Mistake

Don't know if your engine has this..Some bikes have a "Primer Setting" on their fuel switch. If you have to prime the engine make sure to never run the bike in the primer mode unless your starting it, as soon as it starts turn it over to the run position or you will flood out your engine all over again..I have seen that happen to many times and it is a very costly mistake that you will only make once.
