Default Re: Fixed my bike - but why did it work?

I would think that the time taken to fanny about removing the air filter allowed the flooded petrol to evaporate, thus allowing the bike to start. Normal procedure for a flooded engine is to go get a cup of tea while the excess petrol evaporates......
