no body suggested removing and cleaning the carb ? could be something simple like dirt or flash in the carb bowl that gets sucked into the main jet and causes it.. then after sitting it falls out and goes to the bottem of the bowl.

sounds similar to how my X33 was behaving before we found that yellow creamy slime in the carb. bike would barely idle, and die when revved. then it would get to the point you would have to let it cool down before it would start again.
It ran better after we cleaned the carb but GIO eventually sent me a new carb and gas tank and now it runs perfect. |

odds are the yellow stuff was gas from when the company who actually made the bike, did the testing on it before shipping it out.. to make sure it starts up and what not. i say this cuz when i bought my quad used from a guy on cl the first thing i did was clean the carb and it had a dried crusty yellowish crap all over just the bottem of the bowl. 10 minutes with some carb cleaner and a old tooth brush took care of it.
sometimes these china bikes and china quads sit in a warehouse for god who knows could be a week to a year before they get sent out to the other people that sell them online and in stores

I saw a video of a factory in China and they tested the motors out of the bike. It was a contraption that had it's own carb and exhaust. They just popped in the motor and the arms with the exhaust and carb would swing in and the motor would fire and it would be on to the next motor.
motor wasnt tested in the bike at all. |

No we never did figure out what it was but it was not old left over fuel.. it was not oil based at all. it seperated and floated like water in fuel.
I'm pretty sure it was the filling from a boston cream donut. |
