I have to agree with Theon , these guys on the forum helped me emensly with running issues on my kit ,especially Theon , take their advice ,listen well and follow their instructions ,they are dead on and will have you up and running in no time whatsoever

Definitely sounds like a float bowl issue to me ,and don't be daunted by pulling the carby apart it's dead simple ,I pulled mine apart just yesterday ,my motor is running like a gem now thanks to these members ,the best forum for motorised bikes on the web IMHO

I agree, if you have fuel coming from the tickler the fuel level in the carb is way to high, either the float level is set to high or there is a piece of gunk between needle and seat, its also possible that the seat is loose which could also cause the fuel level to get to high, another thing to check is when you remove the float from the carb check to make sure it doesn't have fuel in it, if it does the float has a hole or crack in it and is causing it to sink rather than float up in the bowl and close the needle tight in the seat which is what regulates the amount of fuel that is allowed to be maintained in the carbs float bowl.

Just go over things good and you'll likely find its a simple fix.

Assuming you haven't flooded the engine case attempting to start the engine, I'd have to agree with the above assessments. Be also aware that the pin holding the needle tang may have come out. Make sure you've cleaned the tank and installed a fuel filter. These kits have been known to have crud in the fuel tanks that will plug the jet quickly.

If the above doesn't solve your problem, here's a no start guide from forum member AI.Fisherman that might help you. It's a good reference for future problems: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aBeJuoS--VQWwXysc07rpscTUbPzgc93xjiQBgsyFjc/edit

That's what happened to me Chris the tang pin had come out on one side and made the motor run like a pig , as well my tank was full of all things a big clump of human hair , as a member said and I completely agree "chinagirl tanks come with EVERYTHING except fuel "
Took me a week to diagnose the issues basically had to do a complete tear down of the carby ,it was so full of junk it was ridiculous
