Roketa 250cc GK-06 no start

Hello everyone,

I am new here and also new to the buggy scene. Just picked up a 2008 and I can’t seem to get it to start. Checked fuel and it’s good. New carb and cleaned lines. Checked spark, good. New ignition coil and checked plug. All good. When I crank the engine over, you can feel air coming out of the carburetor. My first thought was a stuck open Intake valve but I pulled the balance cover off and was able to pick the valve open (with some force) by hand. So not sure if it’s that. Checked timing and from what I have gathered it seems to be on. I’m at a loss now. Any help would great!

Welcome aboard. Sounds like the valves need adjusting. Valves are probably set tight and valve are not closing completely.
