The spark plug was oily so we replaced it. The bike started after a couple kicks. I held the throttle open 3/4 to full and after about 15 seconds th bike diedand wouldn't start. The fuel line is clear. Any ideas?

Thanks,

DB

clean the pilot jet and drain your tank. at 3/4 throttle you are pulling off the main jet not the pilot. the pilot jet being so small clogs up more often than the main. and delivers the fuel at idle.
