    GSX600F Refuses to Start

    Hi Folks
    Apologies if this covers (very) old ground but:
    I had to bail out overseas last week and so my Suzuki GSX600F (2006) was sat in the garage at my place for the best part of about 8 days. Came to start it for work this morning and it refused to start for me. On first go and giving it full choke it went and revved high as if to say finally you start me up and then it packed in. Nothing after that despite a half hour of attempts. I stopped as the battery was on its way out. During my attempts it wanted to start a couple times but just didn't catch. Didn't have time to check anything much but the Kill Switch is Off. Fuel is at about 3/4 of a tank (filled up the week before I had to leave). Fuel switch is set to ON. No leaks around the bike itself. There was a smell of petrol as I went through the motions
    Any thoughts?
    Much appreciated.
    Regards

    Yupp , its flooded and the plugs are soaked with fuel. Try later. Dry plugs if same happens.
