I second the battery comments...

I bought my GZ - it had sat, unused. Battery was screwed. Note: check the terminals first tho - you MIGHT be able to breathe life into this battery then get some vaseline on to the terminals to stop corrosion and viola.

Failing that, replace the thing. I had to replace mine (cost £25 - about $50!) and its started on the button EVERY single time since. I cannot complain - this was from previous problems of having to recharge it every night....the old battery was capoot .... now, its a dream.

Idling - Easy Rider has it spot on in this regard....check throttle/choke cable. Also, give it a good choke before running it ... I STILL Need to choke my GZ a lot before a run.....

Good luck,
