Pitbike starts sputters then dies immediately

It's a pull throttleI can hear it engaging the part in the carburetor at the top I can hear it lifting that up when I pull the throttle it's just not causing a reaction

Mine had the issue of the clutch being too tight. I added thin spacers and that fixed it

The clutch being too tight caused your bike to not respond to the throttle?

Have you adjusted the valves?

Have you adjusted the valves?

Do you mean that air fuel mixture screws? What valves are you talking about I'm not very familiar with the mechanical aspect of dirt bikes

Under this little cover, there is a valve that controls the intake of fuel/air mixture into the engine.

There is another cover exactly the same underneath for the exhaust.

Both have to be adjusted properly, they're not that easy to get a feeler gauge into either.

I'm sure there are YouTube videos showing how to adjust the valves on a horizontal Honda engine or clone.
