Just got this bike today. This is my first suzuki because my family trashed their name and told me never to buy suzuki its junk... But I took a chance on this one. Some guy had it in his where house for 3 years. Now I have never owned a 2 stroke in my life (I have ridden them) Now it just wont start! not even a slight rumble? So first I pulled the plug cap off and shocked my self lol then put the plug in the cap and it fired on the cyclined head. then I drained the carb and put fresh fuel in it oiled all the line EX: clutch and throttle. but it still wont start??? I tried pushing it down a hill and bump starting it still nothing am i doing something wrong? next step is pull it with a car and try starting it that way and fyi the carbs are not dirty he complety drained the bike before storage... PLEASE HELP! CLEANED THE CARBS RUNS LIKE A TOP!

Whuh? So does it run or not? I don't like to take people's word for it regarding carbs, so it would behoove you to clean the carb again for your own piece of mind. What about compression? Man, there could be a host of problems, but start with cleaning the carb and checking compression.

I too, am struggling to understand this one.

"FIXED" and "runs like a top", but "PLEASE HELP!" in the same post makes it confusing and hard to give advice. Try again so that we can help.
