Tao tao 125cc engine will not turn over

I had it sitting for a little over six months. I’m thinking bad gas. I added a fuel cleaner but still nothing.

When you say your engine will not "turn over" do you mean that it will not spin or that it will not fire up and run.

If it will not spin that is probably a dead battery sitting for 6 months.

If it will not fire up and run it is probably not just "bad gas", but a carb clogged by jelled and varnished gas.

A fuel cleaner is not going to help that. You will need to take apart the carb and clean the bowl, jets and passages.

There are tons of videos on You tube showing how to deal with both problems.
