Hi Chris. I've had a similar problem. Bought a brand new mini moto yesterday and identically put in oil with no fuel. We've flushed the tank and inserted the right amount of unleaded and T2 oil. Taken it to a garage and apparently the spark is fine. Anything Im missing?

Hi, not much to go on here and that includes whether it's a 2 or 4 stroke engine you've got, but first you said fuel which i could take as meaning diesel,in which case i would drain & flush the fuel tank & tap, strip the carb & clean, take head & barrel off and check/replace rings, as it hasn't run you may be lucky to get away with a clean.But if you mean "wrong petrol"? as there is only unleaded in either 95 or,i think, 97 octane , you cannot go wrong whichever one you use. i can only think that you have a 2 stroke fuel/oil mix in the tank type, but failed to add 2T oil & the engine has seized, but you say it wont start so it cannot really seize up by trying to start it!? check the spark plug anyway for fouling.
