Re: wont start
Have you cleaned the carbs? i know on the gk76A there a right pain in the ***, o rings go easily, give them a good strip down and clean and see how it goes.
I think what he means by prime is to open throttle up abit to allow fuel to pass through to there bowls to the cylinders. surley u been trying it long enough for them to fill up though.
Mine was a fucker to start, very helpfull to have a booster pack when trying,
I found that spraying Carb clean, (or you could your any other flamable spray) into the airbox and that managed to fire it up. not the best of ways but it worked

Re: wont start
Ive got it going now
After cleaning the plugs 3 times I decided to buy some new ones (£35).It fired up straight away.The guy in the bike shop said he was 99% certain it needed new plugs and he was right
