finally got my bike to start, but it dies down very quickly. it doesnt seem like the throtle works, i start the bike, twist the throtle and nothing happens. if i stop or go too slow, the engine dies. :/

Mine did that and the magneto was dying. Do you have a spark? Also what happens if you keep riding it, I mean does it run but not idle, or not run at all?
I am assuming it is a china doll engine.
