February 7, 201115 yr timming!! didnt go that far just pulled the lump out Just a thought, I have the same bike and my son has the JT125, we had a similar problem and it turned out to be the wires to the coil. We had a spark with the tank and cover removed but when the tank was fitted and we tried to start it it woud'nt go.Only found the problem when it did actually start and then stoped as soon as I sat on the bike. I had to replace some of the wires and reroute them so the tank did'nt touch them. I would be supprised if your carb settings would stop it from starting, just maybe make it run badly. hope this helps. TLTEL
