How old was the gas in it? Check air filter? If it's been sitting along time, the carb might need to be clean.

How cold is it there? You may have to change the carb settings/jetting to get it to run. Does it run any better with the choke on?

I dont have a 90cc. But I've forgot to turn my gas dial on several times. Make sure your gas dial is on. There is a on/off and reserve position.

Hi luckycharms, welcome to the forums! It has been considerably colder here the last few weeks than in November. My LT was a bit cold blooded today when it fired up and ran fine in a bit warmer weather. I know it's ailment is lean jetting. Jets are cheap and usually pretty easy to change. If your gas is good, air filter clean, etc you may want to rejet and see wherre you are then.

Got squirrels? A friends sportsman had similar problems and a squirrel had decided to store nuts in the air box! packed the thing full of leaves and nuts!
Sure you looked there by now, but thought it was funny, he was always bragging about how much nuts his machine had, I never thought it to be literal though.
