so it is a gy6 with a brand new 150cc motor.

I put the motor in last fall and it started and ran great! i put maybe 10 miles on it.

then it sat the winter. in a cold garage...

I put a new battery in it and tried starting it, now the garage is still about 40 degrees. but it starts then sputters out and dies. as the motor warms from starting a but it will run just a bit longer and a bit longer.

but the most it will stay running is about 20 seconds.
give it any gas and it dies

is it just because it is cold?
