Default 300ex battery problem

I was trying to start my quad today. It wasnt starting so i keep pushing the start button i didnt hold the starter button down though. Then after like 15 mins of tryin to start the quad the starter would just die. My brain then finally kicked in n i knew i flooded the engine and probably drained the battery. I ckecked the plug and i was right. I bought a new plug and am goin to pop start it tomorrow. When i get it started will the battery charge up again by itself just from running?

well take out all the battery fluid files and replace them with good enough files and hold the starter for about 5min flat and it should restore like new.

Ripperupper is trying to be funny. You should charge your battery with a charger. The charging system on your machine is made to maintain a fully charged battery, not charge a dead one. Besides being hard on the wiring and stator windings, it's unlikely you will ride your machine long enough to charge it fully.
