I just picked up my first K100. It is a running project bike that I'm making into a cafe racer. It ran fantastic when I picked it up, then halfway through the 10hr drive home a strap broke and it dumped on my trailer (the bike is cosmetically ok thank god) I smelled some gas, but it was 2am so I just strapped it down and kept driving. This morning I unloaded it and tried to start it and it was POURING gas out the exhaust and wouldn't start(it has open headers until I finish welding the new pipe). I pushed it into the garage and pulled the plugs to let it dry out. A few hours later I tried again and it did the same thing. Finally when the tank was almost empty it started, but was clearly sputtering, filled the tank up and back to pouring gas. So what I have gathered so far since it did start is that its getting spark, has compression still, and is obviously getting way too much fuel. The oil level is good in the sight glass, so the gas isn't getting past the rings yet. All the wire connections look good, and there is no visible damage.
Where do I go from here? Is this from it dumping on the trailer or did something maybe just rattle loose?
