Default Tb not starting

-sigh- i can not figure out what the problem is. I just took it apart, meaning plastic, air box, tires, pipe, lights, ect. Nothing major was taken off. Before the plastic was put back on, i fired her up and she ran for like 5 min with no prob, and i was given her gas on and off. TOday i get out there and she wont start for like 15 pulls. when it finally starts, it dies. It also made a crappy sound like pudpudpud before it died. I firgured it was the gas on off or the air filter, so with the airbox lid off and all three on off positions. When it fired, agian after like 10-15 pulls, it was doin the pud pud pud thing again. Also there was a crap load of gas in the airbox, like a table spoon or more right on the lip. Does this mean that...what does it mean? Please help, summer is almost over!

i dont know how it could be too rich, i didnt change the jet, and its the one rcr told me to use. From chicago, about how long would the drive be to rcr, cuz if i cant fix this i'll bring it down there and have 'em port it while i am there.

Do you leave your gas lever in the on postion? It is possible that gas has flooded
your crank case. Remove your crank case drain plug and see if anything comes out!

When it happened to mine it was because the petcock was bad but it did
make it very hard to start.
