    You pulled it over once, and it didn't start? Sounds like you need to pull it over a few more times........

    Try a little more info. When you pull it it does nothing. Does that mean it doesn't turn over, doesn't fire, doesn't start? You replaced the carb, was the carb missing, you were told it needed replaced, is it the correct carb for the bike? Do you have spark, have you checked compression. There are guys here that can tell you exactly what's wrong (I'm not one of them) if you give them enough info.

    if it trys to run with a little dose of starting fluid, you'll know which direction to concentrate on.

    spark at the right time is the first thing I check..after the oil, of course.

    Have you pulled the carb off to clean it? I would get a rebuild that carb.

    i just cleaned the carb on my ytm 225 prob the same idea as yours when i put it back together i put the float in upsidedown which stoped the float chamber getting any petrol. i never knew what way to put it in as its oval both ends. make sure its not the same with you.
