My bike kills itself

I pedal drop the clutch motor kicks on im still rolling, then i put the choke down (off) try to give it gass nothing it just slows down wont go and then shuts off, even when i hold the clutch back down.

I think its not getting spark, bought a new plug same thing happens, so i think it might be the CDI box?:-||

Check you are getting fuel to the float bowl by loosening the screw on the bottom of the carb with the red washer.

Sounds like it is not starting at all, just making put-put sounds as you are pedaling it over.
You need 3 things for it to run.
1. Air and fuel mixed at the correct ratio.
2. Compression.
3. Strong spark occurring at the correct time.


One or more are out of whack.

Check for spark first.
You should be able to feel is it has good compression. Is it easy to pedal start from a dead stop or do you need to build up speed before releasing the clutch to start it?
