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.

 

hahaha thanx anthony, damn it i hella wanna ride it! I thought all the rain messed it up. It doesnt need a battery to get it started right?

 

i dont htink so since its a pull start. but i can be wrong. let me know when you get it up and running. ill pull out my goped and go ride with you

 

haha for sure man

 

damn! i'm jealous....i've wanted to get a pocket bike to ride around for so long now.

back on topic, i have no idea. gluck fixing it mike.

 

thanx man, if you ever come down to milpitas hit me up then you can borrow one to ride. if i get it running that is lol

 

hahaha. cool cool. maybe i'll go to qcup more so i can ride one.

 

mike, grab some carb cleaner and clean the ish out of it. i havent used my go ped in 2 years and same thing happened. just sprayed some carb cleaner and cleaned it, and it started right up

 

thats what i was going to say


a little bit goes a long way

 

joven gave u both the pocket bikes?!!?

 

yea i have both of them but only jo's bike was running. the other one was used for spare. haha thanks guys for the help, i used carb cleaner and it worked right away. thing was fast until i broke the darn throttle cable haha gotta fix that.

btw jessie did you get your car back?

 

hahah i just picked a pocket bike up like two weeks ago

 

put that octane booster in that thing and full throttle it hahahahah

 

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