put a long zip tye on the plug wire before you light it next time... so you can just pull on the "tail"...
also.. Every time... I MEAN EVERY TIME. I go to start a motorcycle.. I give it abotu 1/4 throttle, and let go. and LISTEN for the "clunk" of the slide hitting bottom.
I have had a bike run away before because of a hung up throttle cable.
every try to kill a 300CC trials bike, runing WOT with out a kill switch.. and no access to the plug wire (under the tank) :-o :-o :-o
Yea.. ever since then I listen for the "clunk"

Ever since I had my 500 run away from before my first build I started putting the kill switch on the right side. I was trying to hit the kill switch with my left thumb and pull the clutch at the same time, now, I can let off the throttle that might be stuck and hit the button with my right hand and pull the clutch with the left. I hit the rear brake but it was amazing how little rear brake did while under full throttle power in 4th gear. Ended up being the base gasket on the LH side because I replaced the cable after the first time even though it checked out.
Motorrad:
only 2 Runaways I ever have had were
1. hung up throttle cable. due to my dumb ass hooking it with the gas tank appon installation... (2005 gas gas 300TXT pro.)
2. Pinched vent line. lucky, this oen takes a while to show up, (pull vaccume on the tank). so I was riding the bike, and noticed it starting to idle high durring shifts. so no RUN away. again.. from my dumb ass smashing the vent line apon gas tank installation.

My first one ever was on my old Yamaha ytm 225 3 wheeler and I was about 11 and spinning cookies out in the rain and my thumb slipped off weird and wedged itself between the throttle lever and the housing. Luckily I thought fast and hit the kill switch and only ended up in some blackberry bushes and not a tree!!! Hahaha, I am accident prone.
