Have you charged the battery? You never said whether it turns over or not.

sorry, didn't get too specific, fuse has been checked, been to a shop
twice, first time he adjusted the carb and changed the plug, ran for about
20 minutes, brought it back to same guy, he messed with it for about two
weeks, then gave up on it. it does turn over but sounds like it's not getting
gas, however bowl is full, float seems to be operating correctly. is it possible
that it has jumped time, if so need to know how to correct it.

If you need help with any of these things just ask how to do it.

First make sure the battery is charged. The next thing to do is to make sure you are getting spark.

While the plug is out, check this page and compare your plug to the plugs listed on this page http://www.pocketbikeforum.com/artic...revisited.html. That might help to determine your problem right away.

Clean the plug if it's still good (or replace it).

If you are getting spark, try to start the bike. If you're pull starting it then give it 3-4 pulls, wait 5 seconds and another 3-4 pulls. Then pull the plug and see if the plug is wet with fuel or not.

So far you'll know whether you have spark and fuel, now you just need to make sure everything is clear for air flow. You can run the bike without the air cleaner for a bit just to test it out (it's not advisable to drive it like this).

Check all of the above. If you don't have spark then you'll need a new coil or a look at your electrical system. If the plug isn't getting fuel then you've got an issue with the fuel delivery system (hoses, carb etc).

Dudes the good News is (from this point on try and keep up.) KOS and I had another phone conversation not so oh long ago. Cutting to the chase, there is a fair to good chance
and with the Grace of AdminDude allowing for Me to Aire My Whiers, so to speak (pun, deep pun)...offered to talk to the Good 'ol Boy's down in Texas and secure a committment to Host the Third Race of an International Mini Moto GP. Being that Berna stipulated that committing was contingent on the Tracks over all condition. Those of you who don't understand the arrangement.....focus.....Berna is submitting applications to the Government for funding a vinuwe whereas families can hold holsum family spirited fun.
Granted I believe in Berna 100%. She will have her Track ready and it will be a jewel
of a Track for the Forth International Mini Moto GP. And I gotta thank DeviceDude for
allowing Me to bend his ear. Dudes I picked that Mans Brain. So cutting to the chase again
DeviceDudes checking on F440 and Calgary. Freak'in DeviceDude I Bow to your Greatness.
I am humbled by the fact that you are an Acomplished PB'er. It was a pleasure talking
with you on the phone. DeviceDude, You are a Good Man. Thank you for allowing Me to "Pick Your Brain" And Good Luck Mate. But wait My Northern Bro's, I am currently seeking
a final Track for an Internation Mini Moto GP. I am in contact with a Dude that was so Freak'in Cool He's Hot! Dudes I give you "Seraphim"...and I'm citeing Encyclopedia Mythica..."
Seraphim

by Micha F. Lindemans
Divine creatures from the Old Testament, associated with the Cherubim, and later taken to be angels. The root of Seraphim comes either from the Hebrew verb saraph ('to burn') or the Hebrew noun saraph (a fiery, flying serpent). Because the term appears several times with reference to the serpents encountered in the wilderness (Num. 21.8, Deut. 8.15; Isa. 14.29; 30.6), it has often been understood to refer to "fiery serpents." From this it has also often been proposed that the seraphim were serpentine in form and in some sense "fiery" creatures or associated with fire.
It is said that whoever lays eyes on a Seraph, he would instantly be incinerated due to the immense brightness of the Seraph. They are described as very tall, with six wings and four heads, one for of the cardinal directions. One pair of wings are for flying, one for covering their eyes (for even they may not look directly at God), and one for covering their feet (which is almost certainly a euphemism for genitalia). They are in the direct presence of God. In Isaiah's call-vision in the Temple, he sees Seraphim surrounding the throne of God, singing praise to God; the "Thrice Holy" hymn (ch 6). In this instance they are angelic beings but in the Book of Numbers, seraph-snakes are sent to punish the Israelites."

Dudes if My luck holds I'll be able to aquire another Track in the northern most part of the Northwest, i.e. The State of Washington. Placing either F440 or Calgary as the First International Mini Moto GP. Hopfuly Race 2 in Wash. then Texas, then Warburg..
..Nurse, I need a Nap. And Special Thanks to AdminDude for sharing His Thoughts
with Me. Thank you Admin.
