i have one of those Chinese 47cc cagillari pocket bikes
it doesn't start the engine is fine
pull start is fine
i checked the spark with the spark plug and its fine
i am using the right gas and oil mixture
and it just doesnt turn on
and before it broke down i would ride it like 30-50 feet and then it would turn off
could something be wrong with the carburetor
 
did you check if the carb is falling off?
did you check if it has compression?
did you check if the plastic residue inside the gas tank didn't clog the fuel line or carb?
is it getting gas to the engine?
did you check spark at the plug?
did you know the plug has to be grounded to produce spark?
 
Check your spark plug for tiny or carbon trails. Some times spark plugs work fine until they are under compression. I've been bit by this a couple times and you never forget. Put a new plug in it ,you probably need one anyway. If that don't do it your coil might be getting hot. It will run fine until it gets warm which is usually in the middle of the intersection.If thats all fine it may be carb but thats easy to check/fix.Have a squirt bottle full of gas. When it starts to die squirt some in carb intake. If it "roars to life,its float or needle. In any case you'r better off getting rid of it if you can. They are nothing but trouble to say nothing of pain and humiliation from the humans you chose to live with.
