wifes cag wont start, getting gas, when last ridden the bike would die when stopped. then took awile to restart. but now its been sitting for about a month and i tried this morning and nothing....i havent checked the plug yet. but soon as i find a socket i will. the bike only has maybe an hour riding time on it. any suggestions ?

i think its the plug. The plugs that come with these bikes are junk and are ussually done in an hour.

clean your carb good and replace the fuel filter and fuel lines with better ones,i put a regular 1/4 inlet/outlet lawnmower clear fuel filter and 1/4 goodyear fuel line on my pikes,10 bucks for both

just want to say thanks to every one but i found out the problem....never guess. you know its always the little and easy things that cost money... but it was the mixture screw on the carb, it vibrated way out. tighten it up and adjusted and started right up....geeezzzzz feel like an idiot, thanks guys
