Hey guys

I have to bike now a mountain bike and a malvern star dragster both with 70cc motors.

I normally just ride the bike to get some speed then drop the clutch... I used to pedal about 20metres before it would start and now i need to pedal about 100 metres...what am i doing wrong??? or what do i need to change?

You may also want to check your spark plug if it was starting fine before.

...and yes, a little prime is a good thing.
 
well first turn your valve on the push the primer button until gas str coming out of the carbutator you should be able to smell it once gas start coming out
 
Sorta....I push it for about two seconds the first time, dead cold. I use about 1/2-3/4 choke. It pushes down on the float, it's not a primer bulb like on a weedwacker engine.
 
Another thing that will help with starting... New spark plug (NGK B5HS), new wire & boot... & remove the plug-ins to the CDI, & solder & heat shrink the wires! ;)
