Help, Why?

Ok, I was riding my 1996 CR250 home fromt he Gas Station, a couple of blocks aways from my house when it just died on me, like it ran out of gas! I had just mixed 44 to 1 in the tank with right around 1.7 gallons. What happend? Now, I can't get the damn thing started to save my life!

What do I do?

Start with draining out all the gas... Maybe your mix did not go so well... So put another tank in there and let us know how that goes.

Got it fixed guys, had to take apart the carb again, clean it, had crap inside it from the old owner who did not take very good care of anything!

Thanks!

My buddy thought he would save time before a ride one time and put the 2 stroke oil in it the tank (it already had about 1/2 a gallon in the tank) with the bike on the trailer and then run down to the gas station and fill up. Long story short we ended up spennding about an hour or so pulling his carb apart and cleaning all the oil out of it. Needless to say he will never do that again.
