Hey Noah this video was a life saver. I was so bogged down with tc 50 as since morning to start and make it go but it just shuts off. My kid was disappointed she could not ride and I was thinking she will miss tomorrow too if it needs to be taken to the workshop. But followed your video and it worked like a charm. Hope tomorrow morning it doesn’t give me a hard time again. Cheers mate
On cold starts I will pull the choke, hold the throttle wide open and while holding the kill switch I slowly turn the engine over almost 2 full rotations. I then turn the choke off and with the piston just before tdc I give it a kick. This it the best method I learned for starting froggy engines.
Just got my son a 2023 50 mini. When he sits for a second then takes off the bike will bog down and not go anywhere until it clears out then it will go. Do you suppose what you explained will fix that issue? It’s hard to practice starts when he can’t go anywhere. Thanks!
100% follow these steps to see if it fixes the problem. It doesn’t take long to fine tune it. The steps should be clear so you don’t need to second guess it. If this doesn’t work for you it is likely another problem. The big 3 would be clutch/stator/carb internals
What’s the difference with the mini? Its oil injected? My kids mini is smoking like a beast and in the manual I see the carbs are different and settings are different on the mini. I’m still going to try this videos method tomorrow. As an example, the mini idle air screw calls for 1 full turn as opposed to 3 for the full size SX 50.
i hate phbg's to be honest, im running a 21 version on my street 2 stroke racer, and torque is insane, acceleration amazing, but it cant fill the bowl fast enough when you are going close to WOT for a little more than 20 seconds.
If you’ve go be through the steps in this video your problem is something else. Next two things to check are the OHMs on the stator and a compression test. Good luck!

Nice that sounds like a sweet trick!
Nice job. I am sure people will find this helpful.
Wondering if you know your jet size in your carburetor....just curious the idle and main jet size
Do you know size factory main jet Thanks great video
On 2016 and up factory main is a 95.

Mini has an oil tank and will over oil when sitting idling.

Great video very informative

Nice Noah that thing will be rippin you are going to be flying thru the wind
Flying!

Im gonna try this at home 😆 THX i give you feedback
My son's was first kick now it's a few kicks and dies 30 seconds later and won't crank until it sits a while

Legend 👏
Never start the engine?
