So let me get this straight...

[NerpAngel]

the current temp ISSSSSS 50 degrees F

EDIT: btw how much fuel is supposed to flow into the carb when i have the valve open? Because maybe my engine isn't getting enough fuel? I mean it comes out pretty smooth, not gushing but not dribbling. I swear it's got to be my carb... :/

If the fuel is flowing a steady stream...its enough, believe me. These little engines only require a very very small amount of fuel. Look at the milage they're capable of. It is a common misconception that you need a gusher from the tank to run the engine. It shouldn't drip; that can be an indication of a non venting tank but a steady flow no matter the size is sufficient.
We've established that you have fuel, fire and air. Your engine should start. Here is a suggestion: Pick up a can of quick start fluid (ether) Available at most auto parts stores in aerosol cans. Spray just a squirt into the air cleaner and try to start it again. I'm thinking you might just have a cold natured engine, I have one, that in cooler temperatures requires a little extra boost to start. Get back to us, Nerp. We're going to get that thing running or else...

ok two things
One: How did we establish i have air again? I might have to check that one more time....
Two: You are talking to a very frustrated and sad little noob so I don't know what the "air cleaner" is

EDIT: Do you think my engine's "flooded" by now?.....

 

[NerpAngel]

OMG IT STARTED!!@!! it dies when i pull in the clutch lever to idle.... any way around this?!? HELP!!@! I hate it dying without me pushing the kill switch.

Sounds like you need to turn the idle screw in.

This thread was awesome to watch!

Not the suffering of Nerp ofc - but the efforts of all, together trying to remotely diagnose a first build to help a newb get ridin'!

Call me a sentimentalist but the the following gave me the biggest grin;

I did Wow.. I"M FINALLY RIDING!@#@!!@!
