Hate to state the obvious...but have you checked for good spark on the side that isn't firing?

Also...look in there and make sure the slide isn't sticking and the choke is working in unison with the other side.

Check the plug......wet or dry?

Pulling the plug and checking will help tell you whats going on...wet probably means a spark problem....dry means a fuel starvation problem.

If you have good spark and the plug is wet then you have a flooding problem...float has a hole in it, adjusted wrong...choke on.

If you have good spark and the plug is dry...then you have a clogged jet, crap in the needle, clogged filter etc.

Like Scott said...check for a good spark...that's always task one.

My RC51 has a neat feature.....if you hit the kill switch by accident while you are stopped somewhere....then try to start the bike...all the lights come on, dash works, fuel pump comes on...bike turns over when you hit the starter.....won't start.

I know more than one guy that called the truck for a ride home only to later discover he had accidently hit the kill switch.

I was about five minutes from calling when I found I had hit mine :)
