212cc Predator Issues

Hey guys,
I've recently been having a problem with my 212cc Predator. My bike starts up just fine and has no issues but when I switch it into run, the engine dies after about 5 seconds. The gas is on and I'm not really sure what would cause this to happen. The engine also is relatively new and only has 20 or 30 hours on it and I've changed the oil twice in that time. (My bike is an older Baja Doodlebug if that matters at all.)

Thanks for any help.

What do you mean by "switch to run"? Do you mean taking the choke off? If so, either you didn't warm it up long enough, or your mixture is too lean.

Too lean could be caused by a dirty carburetor not providing enough fuel; or by a gasket leak allowing in too much air.

If it sat for a long time with gas in it, I suspect dirty carb. :thumbsup:
