wind it back out, thats the idle screw

Now it won't start again Grrr?!! Could this be because it doesn't have a tap for petrol and it's flooding carb where's the drain screw on mini moto carbs

Sit on it and get a mate to push it, while he is pushing you at a decent speed he will then have to pull the pull start with one hand while keeping you going with the other hand.

While he is pushing and pulling you need to rev the bike to make the clutch plates engage. this will in turn help the bike start.

I only done this when I was young so take it or leave it.

Its hard and not to be tried at home.

Or the drill

dont listen to this goon^^ he talks shite as usuall. That will do nothing at all

if you did what skippy said then you may have undo e the idle screw too far. Turn it back one full turn at a time and try starting it in between.

was it starting and riding fine before you messed with it also get a universal inline fuel tap on the fuel hose so its not flooding all the time

I took it out after playing with screw it worked fine for 5mins then bogged out and wouldn't start again?

Anyone know what this could be??? Tried posting on minimoto scene but won't let me. ?

So I believe I've fixed it it was the ideal screw but now it's pissing petrol out??
