Hi Andy

Ita a cota 200 and is 175cc.

The first thing to check is there a spark if so and it wont start check the timing now im not 100% what it should be but 2mm btdc is a safe place to start. if the timing is way out wip the flywheel off and check the woodruff key is intact.

Google "todo trial" you may be able to download a owners handbook from that site.

I have a cota 200 I got cheep as a non runner and it was just the woodruff key.

Good bike but the kickstarter is a weak point so dont jump on it as parts are impossible to find and they can jump out of gear in steep climbs.

i remember watching an old guy make a woodruff key for one of those at an event he made it out of an 8m open end spanner and and used a haksaw and a file what a guy aaa
