49cc Pocket Bike Wont Start..HELP

[GoldenZero]

Hey, I looked all over these forums and found nothin that helps lol..anyways, I just bought a brand new pocket bike off eBay http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...m=130055367918 thing is it wont start.... I have the chock open all the way and the white fuel intake turned vertical...when I try to start it a bit of gas comes out a small plastic tube at the bottum and leaks...a lot really anyone have any tips or links on how I can get it started? I just got this for christmas yesterday and was plannin of ridin it yerterday but didn't happen..so much excitement spoils it the User manual says MT-AII and inside it says its a 49cc.

so anyone got any ideas how I can start it? I almost got it started a few times it kinda started for about 5 seconds then stopped...do I need to turn the accelerator while starting or anything...when im starting I do 3 pull outs slowly then 1 big fast pull what am I doing wrong?


AND YES I did check the spart plug

try taking the float bowl off the bottom of the carby. sounds like a stuck float. check that the float moves freely and then put it back together.

ill try it tomorrow thanks, and do you have any other ideas?

[Hellspawn]

make sure the fuel line isnt kinked anywhere as sometimes they come kinked when they are new

ill check that too anything else that might work?

[GoldenZero]

well it started abot 4 times in a row no prob. but when it floods what should I do?

[bandit7]

if the float keeps on sticking you will have to get a new carbie. i have a 14/14 rep and have never had a problem.

right now im lookin at the whole engine and lookin up on the net on how it works so im exspecting to find whats wrong..I found gas on the bowl if thats what ya call it so I think the thing that holds it tight is loose

[mac90]

sounds like its just flooding a simple float ajustment will fix it

also look to make sure the bowl gasket is not damaged

when it floods shut fuel off remove spark plug and let it sit in the sun for a hour or 2 pulling engine over every now and again to evaporate the fuel left in the cylinder & crank case
