ok, iive had it for about 1 week. turned it on, rode it around for like 5 minutes the other day, and not today it wont start. it sounds like the bike is trying to start, but it never does. i cant imagine it being a spark plug problem, seeing as ive only had the bike for about a week. kickstarted it a shit load and still wont start. also put starting fluid on the air fliter hoping that would do something, but it didnt. any suggestions? btw i dont even think my pit bike has a choke. here is where i bought my bike from:

Might be something in the carb from when it was in the factory

have you checked the spark

First thing you should do is check the spark if you haven't already (don't know if you've checked yet).

to be fair riding for 5mins is no good on ur engine, or ur spark plug, i expect its fouled.

take ur plug out and get it clean.

then try it.

it was indeed the spark plug. i took the one that came w/ the bike out and it was black as hell. luckily srsmotorsports about 15 minutes away had a similar spark plug that worked perfect. they were like what kind of sparkplug is it? i like welllll its off my pitbike from china, and they were like ....................."oh" LOL, as if i had just ruined their whole day. but luckily they still hooked me up w/ one and im running fine now. i took my bike on like a 5 mile trail today for my 1st time ever, and it was some of the most fun ive ever had =)
