So i have a really low mile 50 sr that i bought with 1100 miles on it and it now has 1350 miles on it. Out of nowhere it didn't want to start one time. Then i let a bunch of kids ride it and i think they played a trick on me to move it. Now it won't start. Sort of acts flooded. Is there something that i should be checking first? Is there something that goes out about this time like a spark plug or what do you guys think i should start with first?

Anyways, the search button wasnt working for me so if anyone can give me some tips i appreciate it.

It wont start with the kickstart or the electric, starter and engine turns over but wont start. I have been using the right 2 cycle oil.

take out the spark plug and use the electric/kick start for a little bit. Maybe like, 20 seconds of electric start, or kick it like 20 times. Numbers dont matter, just air out the motor. Put the plug back in and see if that helped any.

Make sure you have fuel flow, spark, and compression. Replace plug if Dacs suggestion does nothing.
