Hey guys, my cousin just gave me 2 49cc pocket bikes. Condition is good and all but its been sitting outside his house for at least 3 months and never been driven and all the rain that got on it. So here are my question, what do i need to get it running again, like any kind of tune up or anything like that? I've been itching to ride them but too bad they wont start, like when I pull the string I hear it kind of crank but it just wont turn over. Thanx guys, any input will be helpful for me.

check the gas mike and check the spark plug. also check the carburetor on there. i have a goped that i didnt drive around for a good year or 2 and when i tried to start it up, i just had to keep on pushing and pushing and pushing then it finally started up and ran. so it might be the same for your too.

mine is already pretty damn fast. Ive taken off a lot of dead weight, including the front break so the front tire spins freely
