The problem I am having is when I try to start the engine, it takes approximately 10-15 minutes of trying. After that, there's a chance it starts, but what's weird is that i found when I get up to 5kph, dump the clutch, and throttle it, the bike could start when im almost at a complete stop (after trying for 10-15 minutes). i have also checked spark plug and there is a spark.
Worth noting:
i am not running an air filter. when one is attached to carb, there is absolutely no chance of it starting, i tried for weeks until i figured out that taking it off was the correct solution, even when i just tried putting a piece of foam around the air intake, it started to bog down and it couldn't even make it up a mellow hill.
Also when i try to accelerate from a slow speed, the engine makes a somewhat loud squeaky sound.
If any of this information helps to why the engine is hard to start then great!
