What voltage is the battery when sitting, when cranking, and when idling? Checked fuel is flowing freely? You turned the fuel on right? Is the choke working properly? Are you trying to give it gas before it’s warmed up? Checked your spark plug? Checked the correct main jet needle clip height? Are you sure the carb is clean?

My bike has been sat for a while (several months). The battery has been charged overnight and i've given it some fresh petrol. It's a 125 with a carb (which I cleaned in the summer)
It's struggling to start. Eventually (after several attempts) It gets to the point where it will turn over if I keep holding down then ignition button. then I release the ignition button and it will idle for maybe 20-30 seconds. However the second I try and give it any gas at all it dies. Any online mechanics think of what it might be?
