Orginal Topic on carb probs

Pretty much Josh came to the conclusion that my carb must be dirty. Well I took it off, and everything looked clean and the floats seemed to be fine. So I re-installed it. Still WONT START. Plenty of fuel, carb is clean. Any ideas? It wont start at all. It's only like 2 months old, it shouldn't be doing this. TIA

 

is the fuel still leaking out of the bottom hose?? if it is it has to be something in the carb I believe. It is still stock right?
The only other thing I can think of is that maybe the base gasket is blown. This would be kind of odd considering that the bike is new and all, but its the only other thing I can think of... (try to pull start it, hook it up to another bike, or something that can tow it at somewhat of a good speed, and put it in like second or third, and drop the clutch. If it starts then, then I believe that it is the base gasket.)
Any of you smart mechanics wanna offer some help lol

only three things a two stroke needs, fuel, air and spark. start with the basics. in my experience, if i think its fuel, its usually spark.

Fuel stopped leakin out of the carb.

 

pull the cap off the spark plug, take it out, put it back in the boot, let it rest on the head and kick it over. make sure you see a nice spark.
all switches ON of course.
all the fuel in the world wont do it unless ya set fire to it

let us know

 

change the plug

 

i agree with warriorman. get pulled down the street. dump the clutch and hold on. might just need to be blown out.

 

I tried rolling down the hill in front of my house, goin about 15-20mph. Started to kick once, then died. I tried about 10 times normally I have no prob gettin it to start this way. Tires locked up every time but once.

 

you need someone puling you so that even if the tires lock up your still moving. my buddy's ds took about a mile behind a truck. also had a shee that we pulled about a half a mile.
