I left my petcock open over night and didn't realize until I tried to start the bike in the morning. It didn't fire or turn over. When i realized what I had done I blew the gas out of the cylinders and started it up. Now it sounds like it has a miss fire on the number 3 cylinder. I did some looking around online and found some people saying that it is possible to bend piston rods in this situation. Is that true? how likely is that?

It smoked white. It was smoke for sure not steam. Came from both pipes. I didn't run it very long, about a minute or 2.

Ghostvet I pulled the plugs a cranked the engine over with the kill switch off. That cleared the gas from the cylinders. #1 and #3 plugs are kinda black. Especially #3. #2 and #4 are fine. I'm not sure what a knock sounds like on a bike. This is my first one. It sounds like a miss fire to me and goes away right around 3k rmps. I know the carbs need to be synced. I'm wondering if leaving the petcock open all night might have caused one of the floats to stick. Also does anyone have a Wix number for the oil filter?

Never mind on the filter number. Found a K&N number. Apparently WIX doesn't make one for this bike.

OK. I got new plugs in. Still has a miss at low rpm but it sounds much better. I think the miss is caused by the carbs being out of sync. It smoked a bit when I first started up but it cleared up pretty quick. I think the guy I bought it from put the wrong plugs in it. The plug my parts guy gave me were NGK D8EA(metric) the plugs in the bike were NGK DCPR7E(standard).
