Vapor lock? Worth a try. It has an odd gas cap that has no hose. I'm not quite sure how it breathes. There is a small piece that sort of slides to the side - odd design. Hard to tell in the pic, but there is no opening under the piece that slides... seems more like a key hole cover.
I've checked the valves and they are good. Plug is black, but dry. A new carb may do it, but I'm holding out for the company's tech support. I realize the cost is low, but I don't feel I should have to put more money into the bike to get it running from new.
