Bike was siting for about 6 months. Drained the old fuel off and put new fuel in. When i go to crank her i have to spray starting fluid and she fires up for a sec and dies. Anyone have any ideas? Where i can get parts from cause local dealership said they wont touch it cause its chinese.

Clean the carb and stop using ethanol fuel .

Yeah, a good carb clean should resolve that.

Yup carb is gunked up, if you let it sit for 6 months and didnt prepare it probably be better to replace the carb and blow out the lines.
