Next door brought home a 110cc Quadzilla which he paid the measley sum of £200 for.

It starts up but coughs and splutters and quickly conks out, especially if you try to ride it.

Where should we/he start?

Yeah apparently it has been sitting around for ages, I told him to drain the tank and try fresh fuel. Not sure if he's done that. Will speak to him tomorrow and try the spark plug. Thanks!

Bare minimum fresh fuel and at least clean the plug ffs Wink Fresh plug, clean the carbs, check the exhaust isn't clogged... oh! and have squirrels made a nest in the airbox?
