EC200 wont start

Very good points.

2) Lean bike on side for a few moments until fuel flows out of over flow tubes and is replaced by fresh gas.

#2 in particular. My bike is a one kick cold starter doing this, can be cranky if I don't.

I still suspect an electrical problem. Try removing the filter and spraying a small amount of starting fluid in the airboot. If it doesn't pop and run a few revolutions you now know its electrical.

THE BIKE IS RUNNING!

Thankyou everyone for your helpful replies and especially to "rpduc" for suggesting the flywheel key!

I had not torqued the flywheel nut to the correct spec and had sheered the protruding portion of the woodruff key off!!

Timing was out hence not starting!

Started FIRST kick after that.

I was taught this trick about a year ago, my bike starts first kick everytime with that one

This is a great read! I will own a 2 stroke soon and this was very enlightening! 2 strokes are truely less complicated to work on. I can hardly wait to bring one home!
