Cant start my new pocket bike.

[R1Junior]

Hi All,

Im new to the pocket bike scene and just had my pocket bike delivered today... Its a Chinese 49cc 2 Stroke - R1 copy.

Its a great bike i love it... problem is i cant get it to start.

I put the fuse in..... so its all cool i have power (lights, horn, electric start etc)....The instruction manual (if you could call them that) says "turn out the gasoline switch".... sure i could do that if i could find it!!!!... so i manually pumped the fuel line untill i could see fuel in the line.... i then slowly pulled the starter several times.... then quickly as per the instructions.... no good... i cant get it to start.

Can anyone give me some advice to get this bugger started.

Thanks

Jarrod

turn the choke on give it 1/4th throttle pump the fuel through if u have a key turn it on and it'll start if it doesnt start turn the choke off and try the above

Thanks Gazza.... Managed to get it going... was fairly flooded i think... local lawn mower shop gave me a hand to setup the tunning.

hi everyone i'm new so don't hurt me 8)
wouldn't the fuel switch be somewhere on the carb (just goin off mowers here) and also be sure to run it in properly before u thrash it :wink:
