I'm new to engines and my engine was doing great all day, but then towards the end, I shut it down, then when I tried starting it back up, it did, but when i throttled it, it sounded like a mini-rev and nothing happened...any idea's whats wrong?

check all your wires and intake/carb nut tightness.
and make sure your throttle cable isnt coming unscrewed from the top of carb.
is the spark plug tight?

i completely took apart the carb and screw everything back nice and tight, still nothing.

"Sounded like a mini-rev"? Has the throttle cable or associated parts dis-connected?
It starts and idles fine, but the throttle will give no response?
Details please.

yes...can you be alot more specific?

is the choke all the way on the 'ON' position? if so, it will start for a second or so, then might die.

No matter what position the choke is in..nothing happens, and yes it starts..but if u stop pedaling, or the bike isn't moving, then engine just dies.

Does the engine actually start..or is it just the sound of the engine turning over due to the momentum of the bike. Sounds like it could possibly be a coil/mag problem-not firing.

i agree does not sound like the motor is starting at all i would def start with making sure it sparks if you have spark and fuel then i would look for air leaks
