Chicago urban biker

[Eternal Noob]

Hi folks,

So I decided to replace car and El with a motorized bike. I found a guy selling one cheaply and, bam, here I am.

I don't know anything about engines. I know bikes reasonably well. I figured having a project was a great way to learn.

Here I am already with a question.

I rode the bike home from the seller this afternoon. Seemed fine. Now I can't start it and I'm wondering if I'm just too much of an engine noob.

The engine is a 66cc. Not sure of make. The clutch lever is a brake-lever style, and it has a cord starter.

Assuming that nothing's broken and I just don't know what I'm doing, how should I start this thing?

Thanks,
EN
