Hey,

I just bought my first bike, got it home and it wouldn't start the next day...

-Its getting spark...

Picked up some ether, removed the air filter and sprayed in- tried kicking it over with filter both out and reinstalled.

Only difference is that now when I kick it is that the subtle spark initiated popping sounds (motorcycle sounds) are now accompanied with high pitched chirping sounds- tried bump starting as well- same effect.

The only other thing I can imagine it being is a too light or high oil content in my premix?

I've tried and tried with this thing and am feeling rather defeated.

-I'm so new at this, the sad thing is that it would probably only take someone that has any sort of experience all of 20 min to get it running. I mean it ran great the first day- I'm wondering if maybe I just flooded it the next day and have continued to do so as there is a bit of a fuel leak at the exhaust pipe joint near the rear brake- though I have left it stand without touching it for up to three days at one point- I'm lost!

Any advice anyone could lend would be greatly (!) appreciated!
