Ok, i'm going to ask one more time about my problem. Well, the last time i used my pocket bike was in august. I see it sitting in my garage, and every now and then i get the urge to want to ride it. So here is my problem. first of all, the last time i rode it something was up with the choke and stuff and i wasnt sure how to fix that. After that, it never started up again. I put the key in and turn it on. When i use the electric starter(i dont even bother with the pull start) it wud make the clicking liek it wud start up, but then it didnt. Today, i tried it again and ti was silent. Now, when i press it, it makes a buzzer sound, just a long buzzing noise and i have no clue what th eproblem is or where its commin from. So, what could be the problem and how can i fix this so it will start up again? Please, this is my last chance for help and then i might just give up on it.

Was sup? well, i have an x1 my self and i have lots experince with choppers and pocket bike's. Have you charged the battery yet? If you havent done that do that because this could help, make sure you do this for atleast 6 full hours. If you have tried this already, then try changing your spark plug! My cousin has a scooter, and it didnt want to turn on , and when it did , you could press on the gas and it would shut off. But then we changed the sparkplug and it started up like it was brand new. Also, when you look at your spark plug, if its black that means you probally flooded it. So then you must put a new spark plug in it. You probally flooded it because of not being patient. It could easily happen. Also, when you try to turn it on with the electric start or pull start , keep on playing with the throttle so it will turn on. Thats what i do when i try to get mines started up. when you have it on, let it run for a bit then open the choke and see if it goes. If it doesnt work then tune your carberator. you will see the screw near the black (stock) air filter. You can adjust it to the right to close it , making less air going in or you can open a little and it will let more in. WHen your X1 sounds like its running good try to give throttle. MAKE sure you try all these things that i have told you.


If this doesnt work just re-ply here and i will try to tell you more of what you could try to start your X1 up. :bigl

i had the same probem with my x1

1.since mixed gas has been sitting for a while u should shake the bike alot to mix the suspendeed oil in the gas if that dosent work take out the gas and use a ratio of 32:1

2.make sure u prime your bike sice u havent riden it in a while

3. mess with the choke until u have found where it works best

4. take out fuel line in and fuel line out and clean the tubes thourghly

5. clean out your tank nicely

6. get a NGk bm7a spark plug(works best for my x1)

7.clean air filter


GOOD LUCK i hope this comes through for you since i no what it felt because i had the same problem
