Do you know how WD-40 got its name?
W= water
D= Displacement/Dispersant
40= How many times they tried the formula to create it.

Didn't know that, money has been tight so I just used what I had I was told it was just a thin oil. I'll be buying the UNI cleaner soon then.WD-40 is not an oil, it was designed for water displacement (WD-40). It actually works great as a DEgreaser.
I'd suggest trying the No Toil cleaning/oiling system.

That's what we're here for.
That reminds me, I need to post up some more No Toil 50% off codes. Check back later tonight.
Good info! Thanks man!
Ok, I tried kicking the bike over a few times with choke, the brand new plug is bone dry. I'm about to work on removing the carb, and cleaning it.
Is new plug making spark? Is fuel dropping out of the petcock when open? Cloged screen in tank=bone dry...
engine oil is better than WD-40.
If you are in a older vehicle, and you get the distributor wet, you can spray WD-40 in the cap and it should fire right up!
Yea, I tried, the fuel is flowing good. And the plug has a nice blue spark.
Float bowls stuck closed....Clean the carburetor? If the plug is dry and has blue spark, then fuel is not getting into the cylinder. -BIG DAN
Lean the bike way over and twist the throttle all the way and hold it, then watch under the bike to see if fuel starts to come out of the over flow.
lol But, not in this case.I pulled the bowl off the carb and cleaned it, but no change. It doesnt even pop on ether.
Ill give it a shot later, ive probably picked it up for the day.
2 stroke pre mix oil is much better than wd-40 for airfilter oil. Back when my dad was my age (80's) thats all they used.
