I do, it was snowing too. Ah, the stupidity of yoof.

Take the plug out as the engine may be flooded if you've been kicking it over for too long without it starting. Try not to break any toes kick starting it either (I managed to do that on more than one occasion trying to start the old CG125).

It's a shitty old 2 stroke. Put the choke on and kick the shit out of it until something happens. If nothing does then the bike's probably fucked.

Well, the engine turns over, I just can't get to go. Its frustrating because I want to ride bloody thing.

I almost got it going but then it putted out, should I be using the throttle?

Is the fuel on ? does it have oil in the reservoir ? is the key on ? there should be screw......

Okay. The 3 rules of mechanicing. Fuel spark compression. Must have all 3. deduce which is lacking and work your way back from there.

It's hard to sort these things out from behind a computer screen. If it's been sitting for ages the carb might need a clean, but lets worry about that later.

If it starts to go , then try a little bit of throttle when it fires.

Yes, yes, yes,

I've checked all of that.

Fresh petrol, new plug?

If it's firing try & catch it with a BIT of throttle. Too much will flood it.

[unstuck]

My old 2smoker will only fire when cold with the throttle wide open.

Just put a new one in Krusty, 38, down from 40. Fired first kick & idled straight away. Ning ning ning. Scaring children. Gotta love race pipes.

That's how my DT motor starts in the bucket every time. Only I have to put it in gear and spin the wheel with it on the stand though as the kick start doesn't fit.
