My Pocket bike is hard to start!

Can someone diagnose the problem; my bike doesnt start on the first few pulls, i have to fiddle around the the fuel lever to start it, anyone know why and how to fix it, also how much will it cost?
Thanks

If its the first time starting (cold start) are you using the choke? It will be a lever on the side of the carby

Do yourself a favour and buy a can of Aerostart/StartYaBastard at your local auto parts outlet. a quick squirt in the carby and it will start.

Aerostart from CRC

Start Ya Bastard Instant Engine Starter - Nulon Products Australia

Do it!

Sorry, i meant the first start of the day. ie the bike/engine is cold and hasn't been run to warm up. The choke should be a lever on the side of the carby. it should have an arrow on the carby pointing to open. For a cold start you want it closed (choke on). If the revs drop to much then open it up a little bit so it idles. Give it 30 secs or so to open it up again and its ready to ride! Hope this helps
