try fuel supply a simple vacuum gauge will tell a lot
anything over three inches of mercury is not good
(sorry misplaced conversion chart don't recall how many centimeters that is)

what do you mean by the fuel supply ?

If the motor hasn't been run for a long time then you need to remove and disassemble the carburetors and clean them. I can promise you that it will not run right until you do and if you don't you will most likely mess up a cylinder from running too lean on gas if you haven't already done so. Start with a compression check. All cylinders should be about the same.

thank you guys for your help we found the problem it was really silly it was the the over heating whistle the one located behind the control it wasn't working so the cdi wont let the engine run to full speed in case there over heating in the engine .
