I have a CT70 that has been in the garage for the past month while I did some work on the rims and wheel hubs. I put the wheels back on earlier this week and tried to take it for a ride, but after it started up it would only run for a a minute or two before dieing. I pulled the plug and it was wet. I waited and waited and tried again and again, but I can't get anything. I didn't mess with the carb or anything while I was working on it, but we did get some cold weather lately so I'm not sure what the hell is going on. Your thoughts?

For starters, get a fresh plug and check for spark. You didn't say anything about fuel coming from the overflow on the carb, so I'm hesitant to say it's flooding just yet. Might just be not firing. With a fresh plug, you want a bright blue spark, not a weak thready little purplish spark (or, obviously, no spark).
