v clic will not start either by electric start or kick start . it has half a tank of fuel but has not been used for 3 weeks due to snow

try twisting the throttle 3 or 4 times then starting it,these bikes have an accelator pump on them and this will help it to start as it pumps fuel directly into the venturi.

Hi mate, first check the state of charge of the battery, if the lights are dim or non-existent then it probably needs charging. if its 2-3 years old anyway, you probably need a new one by now. Also take spark plug out, clean it & check the gap. Won't be anything wrong with the petrol after only 3 weeks.
