Re: Bike just won't start!

Alright, battery charger arrived so I charged the bike all the way today. Used the starting fluid again, it fired but wouldn't stay running.

Did what you said with the carburetor, I believe. I loosened the screw going into the hose on the bottom... this caused gasoline to leak out from a hose that comes out of the bottom of the bike. I let 4 or 5 ounces drain into a cup, tried the starting fluid again.

Now the bike will fire as long as there's starting fluid in it, but it won't stay running unless I keep the throttle pulled all of the way. Once I release it, the bike will just die out. Any other suggestions, or do you think the carburetor needs to be cleaned out?

Also, I'm in Orlando. Just moved here a week or two ago.
