bike was running great for a week, got gas, went for a 5 mile ride, parked, wouldnt start back up, removed intake hose, slightly covered carb throat with hand, started up(like crap) TONS of white smoke then chokes out, pulled carb apart and inspected everything, all correctly cleared and functioning, checked gas tank and...
Cloudy whitish gasoline?
My theory is that somehow... water may have gotten into my fuel, as water has the same effect as seafoam when introduced to the combustion chamber (it looked like i was just seafoaming through a vac line) thats my conclusion, i just want some second opinions, the gas also felt weird?... sort of.. oily? but did not smell like oil and was not dark like oil, just a weird hazy cloudy look whilst looking into the tank
What do you guys think? No time to flush the tank and see it im correct unfortunately will have to do tomorrow

Yep, bad gas in there drain it and put some new gas, also drain your carb bow. After you drain the carb bowl with the bad gas, turn the VENT HOSE for the CARB up(that is is little hose near the top of the carb and is about 2 inchs with it bent down) and you can squeeze about two ozs of fuel down it to prime the bowl.
