I think they went to bed on you.
Pull the plugs out before you turn it over. You want to push the gas out of the cylinders and without the plugs you don’t have any spark to start it.😀
Good luck and be safe.

 

Thanks for your response. I have a lot to learn. I don't have a ton of time at the moment. Think this will all be okay if I do it in a week or two? I will not ride it before I do this though.

 

I think if you wait a couple of weeks you probably don’t even need to pull the plugs unless you want to check them which wouldn’t hurt. It should have ran down the cylinders by then but I would pay attention to the advice you got earlier about the oil. That gas will wash the oil off your cylinder walls so I guess I wouldn’t let it sit too long.
Some really knowledgeable people on here and most of them will be glad to help and give you good advise.
Good luck and enjoy your scooter!😀

 

don't pull the plugs and crank it over, that may cause it to keep cranking until batterie burnt out if not disconnected.
Just disconnect the leads for plug in.
For plugs out and use clamp on batterie earth so you can kill it if it doesn't stop cranking.

 

The reason you want to turn it over with the plugs out is that liquid doesn't compress, if there was fuel in the cylinder you could bend a rod. Take the seat off and be prepared to disconnect the battery ground cable if the starter sticks, it's not going to hurt anything if it cranks for a minute, it's just unnerving if your not prepared.

 

It may be a simple leak at the fuel hose between the carb and the petcock...

If fuel was going past the needle and seat in the carburetor, I think it would have come out the overflow vent in the float bowl.

 

Think that's a possibility even if a spark plug was wet with gas last night?

 

Not necessarily, it may have gone down the manifold fast enough not to overflow the float bowl.

The best course of action is caution, assume the worst and be prepared to deal with it but so long as you don't try to start it until checked over, you won't have done any lasting damage.
