Is there anyone on these forums? if not i might just delete it and find a new forum because i thought forums were to get advice...

Hi, im new 
I've had this bike for a little over a year and have had some problems with it. I know its probably what I deserve for getting such a cheap bike, haha. I just put a new battery in it and it won't start. the starter motor seems to be working fine but it doesn't seem to be catching to start the engine. Recently when im riding it will gradually loose power until it dies. The battery was dead at that point and that's why I put in a new one, but I haven't been able to get it started since. There is fuel in the tank and so it's not something obvious like that. ive also rebuilt the carb a million times and checked to make sure that all the hoses where on right there is a honey coat inside the carburator that wont come off even with carb cleaner im out of ideas!
Any help on what might be wrong with my bike would be much appreciate, thanks!
