Starting Issue

[Chasqui]

Had my TGB stored in the garage all winter - I have recharged the battery, changes the spark plug and it won't start - can't even start it with the foot crank...any ideas?

Thanks a ton!!!

Good fuel? did you drain the carb? plug wire on tightly?
Does it have spark? and of course the classic
"is the kill switch off" question.
You can give it a tiny shot of starting fluid if its going  to fire
that will do it...a word of caution just a tiny shot is all you need.
because it strips the oil away down to the metal.
i use it to clean oil from the concrete floor.
Plus it has been known to blow the head up on some cheaper scooters.

I replaced all the gas in the gas tank...don't know how to clean the carb - easy? Starting fluid in the gas tank?
Thanks!!!

ok  find the drain screw on the carb  its on the bottom of the carb
at the fuel bowl look for a hose or a pipe like casting
 open the screw and let drain then start the motor( crank it over for a
couple of seconds and let bowl drain again).
 
as for the starting fluid it is a spray can like spray paint.
 just a tiny shot( pssst )  will do and it goes in the air box port.
