Make sure the float did not stick open and flood the cylinder. turn off fuel supply and remove exhaust pipe from cylinder. Does expansion chamber have fuel in it? It shouldnt- drain it. Place a towel over rear of front fender and on floor under exhaust port and kick motor over. Does fuel spray out? If so motor is severely flooded. Keep kicking untiul all fuel is purged from motor. Motor will likely start and run for a second once the fuel is reduced to a level the motor can handle. Reinstal exhaust and fix carb/ float problem. Hope that solves the problem.

My yamaha 400 dragstar will start easily and run on choke, but as soon as the throttle is touched the engine cuts out, will not start on throttle only on choke.

Hi
That's a fuelling problem
Sounds like she has been laid up for a while -
If more than 5 or6 months then you'll have to drain & replace the fuel from both the tank & carbs
If over a year then you may need to strip the carbs

It could just be sticky floats - try adding a carb cleaner to your fuel

Can not start

Could be a fouled plug. Did you check that? Is it a 2 stroke?

1998 yamaha gp 800 runs great out of water

change the spark plugs first always and if that doesnt help you will need to do a compression test while you have the plugs out if they test 90 psis or more then you need to put carb kits in it just because it runs at dry dock doesnt mean it doesnt have low compression but dont get discuraged it may just need carb kits
