So I was putting the last few items back on my XP after redoing the graphics and seat, it turned over maybe half a turn when I pressed the start button, it was pretty glitchy even to make the half turn, I had just charged my 8 year old interstate battery but it read 11.8 volts so I put a brand new interstate that I got for my gsx, still nothing, took the plugs out, pressed start button, still nothing. I can hear a click and only when the lanyard is on, so I think the start button is functional, but I’m not sure, A little back story, while I was sanding it and workin bc on it over the past 3 weeks, I had taken the fuel cap off a few times, most times there was a whoosh sound, this is the part where I kick myself in the ass, is it possible that when I went to start it with the plugs in, it could have been hydro locked on fuel from the dirty pressure relief valve? I didn’t clean that pressure relief valve till after I tried to start. When I took that pressure relief valve off there was a beige creamy substance in the vent hose going to it, anyways please tell me I didn’t damage the motor by hydro locking it on fuel and that I just have some type of electrical issue. The starter had always been a little glitchy so I am hopeful. Where do I start? And if possible please tell me in detail what to do because I have never had to fix anything electrical on these. Should I go straight to the starter and remove it? Or ohm the negative and positive cable ? Looks like I would need to remove the tuned pipe and exhaust manifold to remove the starter?
