I'd suggest changing the fuel lines and pour a tlb spoon if red ex in the sparkplug port

ah ok sorry for my assumptions,the carb is on the right hand side of the engine as you sit on the bike,it is just above the kickstart lever and the best thing to do it take off the airbox thats on the back of it by undoing the bolt on the bottom of it and pulling it off.Aftrer that you need to undo the two bolts that hold the carb on and move it out and tunr it upside down then undo the screws on the bottom of it that hold the float bowl on then the bottom of the carb(FLOAT BOWL)will fall of clean any dirt or dried up petrol out of it and then take the two jets out that you will see in the centre of the carb when the bowl is off,these need to be very clear any blockages will make it impossible to run.the spark plug needs to be removed with a 21mm spark plug socket.get stuck post a new nquestion for me ok.

i dont know what or were the carb is and i hav found the spark plug i dont know how to remove it, and hav no idea what the jets are sorry

the main thing to do is empty the fuel tank and refill it with fresh fuel then take the carb off and clean is out properly and make sure all the jets are visibly clean you can see through them if they are.put it back together and i bet shes a runner.put a new spark plug in it too ngk br7hs
