My bike had sat for a few weeks prior and now it won’t start even with new carb?

I will mention that I broke off my kickstart so I’ve been bumped starting it and I’ve never had an issue with doing that. So it had been sitting for a few weeks and during that time I would play with the throttle so I figured it was just flooded at first but it still wouldn’t start after weeks and weeks my brand new carb came I put that on as well as a new spark plug and it still won’t start please help.

Friend has issue on his xcf 250 that’s big bored it’s making this weird noise but still runs well just has slight loss in power.

I figured it’s his crank.

Drz400 as first road bike?

Will a DRZ 400 make a good first road bike? I have a KTM SX 125 and I have been thinking about a Supermoto for a while, but I don’t want anything too much for a beginner street rider.

Is the 2006 crf250r a good and reliable bike?

I have been looking at this 2006 CRF 250 R as an upgrade for my 125 2t and I’ve looked into the bike and I noticed a lot of people talk about issues with valves and other top end issues so I would just like to ask anybody who has owned the bike and that has experience with it if it’s worth it or not.

Moving to 250 4t to soon?

So I have had this KTM 125SX for a few months now I’m fully confident on it I have full control over the bike and recently I’ve been leaning towards a 250 4T however, my friend has been telling me it’s too much bike for me and as I usually trust his intuition, though he does not have experience on motocross bikes like I have but rather just smaller quads. Would it be too soon to move up?
(If I get the 250 I’m still keeping the 125 idk this helps)

Kickstart broke off do I need to replace the mechanism?

This is my 2003 KTM 125 SX and the kickstart broke off while kicking the teeth are practically gone on the kickstart, but am I able to just put a new kickstart on or are the teeth on the mechanism too broke down and will I have to buy a new kickstart mechanism?

Does the bike sound normal?

It’s a trade offer for a 2009 kx250f and the carb need to be adjusted? Besides that is there anything that sounds off?

Is this trade for 2009 kx250f worth it?

He says he’s sure it’s a simple fix and maybe not getting spark and that his mechanic hasn’t seen the issue yet. (The trade is for my 2003 ktm sx 125)
