    I have a Super Stomp 140 pit bike. It's about 2 weeks old and has been
    running fine. Today it has started high revving as soon as the engine is
    started.

    Anyone have any suggestions what to do?

    Thanks

    Tom

  4. All the above,

    Then look to see if the throttle cable is snagged somewhere. It will
    be.

    The trendy way to do it would be to stuff the POS pitbike in a rucksac
    and jump with it, of course.

    So WUN's idea first, then Platy's.

    One day maybe, when I'm legally able to.

    That is worth checking. I've fixed the problem, it was the idle screw on the
    carb.

    Bonus! He won't even need to get a grown-up to buy the matches.

    it makes me laugh when people buy these pieces of shit that no-one
    else has ever heard of and then they act surprised when they fall to
    pieces.
