I have been using my 70 cc gas engine bike to commute to and from school 10 miles for the past few weeks, and it has been starting up and running completely fine. I went for a test drive this weekend and it wouldn't start. I checked the cdi wire connections, didn't help. I pulled the spark plug, turned over the engine with it out, and it is definatley sparking. I tried to start it with the choke on a few times, then I tried without it. Usually it starts within 10-20ft of when it is engaged but today I was pedaling a good 200 feet straight and was getting nothing.

spark plug wet? if not?
1st check the petcock (valve on the fuel tank) make sure fuel flowing though fuel line
2nd take off the carburetor make sure jet is still screwed in. your float is in working order
also the choke the engine play with it well trying to start it
One of my old bikes had a "sweetspot" on the choke to start. but this only matters if your getting fuel.
Hope i can help
