So I got this thing a couple weeks ago and it ran but it ran poorly(bogging).it Sat for a week then didn't run. Since then I've replaced valve shims,air filter,air filter hose, battery,spark plug,and new fluids. Btw it is getting spark and fuel and I cleaned the carb. Yesterday it ran for about 5 seconds then died right after I did the valve shims. It sounds like it wants to start but won't. I'm really frustrated with my ruckus and any help would be appreciated.

is it cranking over and just not starting, or does it seem like it doesn't want to crank over?
try cycling the key off and on a few times to make sure the carb is good and primed. also try turning the engine over by hand until you feel it get past the compression stroke. the starter even with a good battery has trouble overcoming that compression stroke if it happens to stop there.

Check your SJ as it may be clogged
