Had one of the worst problems one sees in these yesterday. Bike sat for 4 months after getting motor full of fuel. I'm thinking insides were coated with a gooey mess of evaporated fuel & oil residue. Had I had to pedal this thing down the road to start it, I might have failed due to my advanced years and debilities.
Fortunately, I have a build bench that allows me to pedal just the motor without dragging all my weight along with it, so after about 4 min of hard pedaling, it started to limp along smoking horribly. Took a good 10 minutes to begin to run better.
If you see a non-starter like this, bring some young friends along to take shifts pedaling like ****.
