Hey everyone not sure what's wrong with it. It has had about 2hrs running time from brand new it used to get up on its back wheels when I took off an hour Into running it wouldn't then it would barely drive now it won't even move when the engine is running. It's been in my shed for about a year or so haven't had time to look at it now I can't even start the engine the ezy start just spins but doesn't kick the motor any help would be greatly appreciated

The first thing...
Remove the OWB and clean it. Reinstall it and try to start it.

Make sure you put it back the same way it came out. When you're able to spin the engine let us know what happens.

Make sure you can spin the engine over by hand, if you cannot the ez start will not be able to either.

How to clean OWB.

If it is stuck, squirt some WD40 down both the carb & glow plug hole to help loosen the engine up, then ideally pull it apart, clean it & put it back together(make sure to grease the o~rings when assembling).
