Oh..mah..gawd...what?
Hah. Darn me for buying a used bike.
Let me try being a little more descriptive of what happened. I was riding my bike home after work, and it was running hard..meaning it kept wanting to die on me. What I usually do is rev to keep it running, as horrible as it might sound. Instead of revving so much, I decided to turn the bike off at a red light, since traffic was horrid. When I turned my key back on, the bike wouldn't even turn over when I pressed the start button.
My bike doesn't leak gas all the time, just during the times that it's running hard, such as that instance..and when it is cold outside.
Good grief. I don't even know what the petcock is.
My boyfriends dad knows a little about bikes, and he did mention something about possibly flooding the carbs.

You said you got it to run then it died, so unless you push started it, the starter works.
Thanks verslagen1. Heh. When it did die, since it wouldn't start back up..or even turn over, my boyfriend and his dad push it fast enough to actually start it, but it didn't stay on for long. It died after a few seconds of being on.
