GY6 50cc 150cc won't start or won't idle / clogged pilot jet

I was out riding with Tetanus Auto the other day and we ran the rocket 🚀 low on fuel it shut off and gave us a hell of a time running good since now its a hit and miss on the how welĺ it runs but it does run just not like it did before and we switched carburetor on it to no avail

Thats pretty much what happened to this one. I ran it out of gas and I think all the crap in the tank went straight to the carb. Have you changed the fuel filter? Another thing to check is the fuel "pump". If you pull the fuel hose off the carb and crank it fuel should come out. If the fuel just pours out non stop without cranking it you need a fuel pump. Have you changed the plug yet and does the spark plug wire have a good connection?

Thanks for the video. Do you use ethanol free fuel or regular? I have not had any carb issues yet, but I'm sure it will happen at some point 🤔

Hey thanks for watching. I don't worry about the ethanol. The regular gas that doesn't contain ethanol is better though I've never had any carburetor problems with a bike that is run regularly. Parking it for the winter might be a problem. For storage you want ethanol free gas. Don't store it with a full tank. Run the bike once a week for 10-20 minutes. My bike sat for 5 years and the carb was nasty. I really need to just buy a new one. The carbs are disposable on these gy6 engines.
