Status: offline 		here's another thing to try, take your plug out turn your baja upside down and pull start about 10 times. this is flush it out if it is flooded.
next put about 8 drops of 2 stroke oil in the cylinder and replace the plug and give it a pull. it should try to pop or it may fire right up.
if it starts and then dies and will not start back up it may be the carb.

if you get the carb rebuild kit, it will have a blue plastic like
pump diaphram which is stiffer than the stock, and will hold up
better

    Do you mean gasoline mixed with 2 stroke oil or are you reffering to 2 stroke oil alone.

Status: offline 		A engine needs only 3 things to start, compression,fuel and spark. So see which of those you don't have. Did the engine ingest dirt? If so you probably have no compression, hence it won't start, this is the most common reason for engines failing.

Status: offline 		I still won't be home yet; so can't work on the engine I will replace the diaphrams and see if thats the problem....and no it did not ingest dirt but incase there is no compression whats the best way to make sure that i have the correct amount, I made sure the engine is sealed.
