first off check you are getting a spark. The carb is what the air box is attached to take that off and take the bottom part off and you'll see a brass screw with a hole in the middle of it, that is the main jet, take it out but be careful and remember were the washers ect goes, clean it anput it back together it will take a few kicks just to bring some petrol in to it before it will start.If that doesn't help the amount of damage you could have caused is potentialy high. take a look at the piston barrel bearing in mind that the smallest scratch could be the problem and check the piston rings even if there new because if the barrel is scratched that will destroy them. also cheack all the gaskets and that the engine turns over smothly and there is good compretion. if no luck with that 50cc 2 strokes are not hard to strip and rebuild. for more help or advice e-mail me at ruairidh_15@hotmail.co.uk
