When the guy kicked the bike what is with rapidly turning the throttle in quick succession, this is a no no, the engine hasn't fully started and all he is doing is distinguishing the spark with fuel and then flooding it. A clean of the spark plug and heat to evaporate the fuel on it and you will probably find it will be ok. I know he has an "L" plate fitted but where did he learn or see this. I cold be wrong but the first place I would look.as it could be anything. Good to carry a spark plug spanner and spare plug with you. Lets know what happened when you got it home.
To try and keep the revs up, it wouldn't fire at all unless there was a bit of choke and throttle. We initially thought the plug was fouled but a fresh one didn't sort it, then we were debating whether to give the Carb a look over on the trails. In the end we don't really know for sure, there was a bit of crud in the float bowl, We're fairly new to 2 strokes so maybe we overlooked something but she runs fine now! Thanks for watching.
And thanks for getting back. If you can get an engine to start as it did its best to gently hold it opened slightly and steadily just above where tick over. By winding it open like this you are drawing masses amount of air in and as I said distinguishes the spark and it will cut flooding the engine. Its not only on 2 strokes this happens but 4 strokes also especially if they have been sitting for a while. Many times if you start a big 4 it will start and sit on tick over with choke but if you turn the throttle it cuts. Just something to think about. Enjoy your riding guys
Awesome vids man. Looks like you have a blast 👍

Ahh! you know I've always wondered why 4 strokes do this after being sat. Cheers for the advice man, Always learning.
It could also have been fuel starvation but I wouldn't reckon from the carb more from a fuel filter.
