it hasnt hardly been used in the last two years ...

I got it to my car after a good 45 mins riding and couldnt get it firing again

the bloke come along few kicks it started ?

ive jet washed it when on way home and now given up trying it won't start

any suggestions before I send it to the shop .

just to state when it does start it runs spot on and will tick over all day

the spark doesnt seem the strongest but ive also read up the shaft on kick start smaller on this model

the plug also seemed dry when I removed it .... help me please

Take the float bowl off and pull the pilot jet out and clean it. Also to properly start the gasser, slowly kick it through until you get it to top dead center. Then give it a good swift kick. My son is quite a bit taller than me, it was irritating to have him kick the bike until I figured this out.

This sounds just like my 05 used to be. After going round the houses I ended up testing the compression to find it low. New piston and rings sorted it. Also check thermostat- mine was getting too hot, bad news on a 2T with low compression already!
