Leaking fuel tank

[Junster]

When you have the clutch pulled and pinned and you pedal does the bike pedal freely? No or very little drag from the engine? If the clutch is dragging you'll never get it to idle. This may not be what's wrong but when the clutch is released there needs to be almost no slack in the clutch cable. Will it idle if the choke is on halfway?

I think Junster may well have sourced the problem here. I wish I'd thought of it myself cos it's a very likely cause of the problem.

There no play in clutch. No drag what so ever. But I never tried the choke half way...I'll give that a shot.. Cause it cant be my carb need cleaning when it's brand new I'm thinkin....It's kinda frustrating...the second I pull in my clutch before stoping, it dies. Unless I do need to tighten mt clutch but I mean I have it kinda tight. The bike pedal so freely compared to others I seen.
