Hey guys, i just got my pull start thanks to sleeves and rivercitypocketbike, but since i bought my bike used i dont know if i got ripped off or if im just doing it wrong. I tried starting the bike in both up and down positions, i kept trying to warm it up but when ever i attempt to start it doesnt want to start =( i have tried and tried but it doesnt start. Anyways anyone know any techniques to get my bike running? I don't know if it has engine problems but the guy said he rode the bike the day before he sold it me, even the air filter is brand new.

check your spark plug, if it is wet then it means your getting fuel and probably no spark. So then check your spark plug. Put the plug back in and hold the tip to the cylnder and pull the cord. if there is no spark get a new plug and then check it again
