Default Used Bike wont start

I'm sorry dont use big words with me i know absolutly nothing about these bikes except they are fast and fun.


I found a used bike for sale for a cheap price and i decided to take advantage of this. the guy said its been in his garage for 6 months so i will have a hard time starting it. I put in a full tank of gas and hoped that if i pulled the string long enough it would just start. I've been pulling that cord for a whole day and nothing happened. I even got a blister from pulling that string.

here are some pictures of the bike maybe it'll help?



Right beside the pull cord theres are 2 switches i dont know what they do but this is the position they are in. The White switch says open at the top and i was guessing if i put it verticle it would open. the metal one beside it is very hard to see but it has a down arrow then the word open so i put it in the down position.




Thanks in advance

the white one is your feul cut off, verticle is open. the silver one is your choke, down is off. what you want to do is put the choke up, or closed to start the bike and then open it once it warms up. if itdoesn't start you are gonna want to check for spark first. do this by removing the spark plug and put it in the wire, with theplug touching the head of the motor pull the cord and watch for spark at the tip of the plug. if you have spark, it's probably a fuel issue and you will have to take the carb apart and clean it.(there is a how to on this in tutorials) good luck and let us know what happens and we'll try and get you going

as well clean the carb, if it has been sitting for 6 months i highly doubt the guy emptied the gaw outta the float bowl, so check out this tutorial http://www.pocketbikeforum.com/tutor...e-stallin.html

GOOD LUCK!
