ps its got new fuel and spark plugs and will kinda start if i spray starter fluid in there and then crank it

Check this link for manuals for your bike.

Spray carb cleaner into the carb, then blow through all the openings with compressed air.
pm me for a slightly bigger pic

Letting the carb cleaner sit for a while will help too. Don't stick anything into the holes/openings as it's REALLY easy to accidently jam the stuff you were trying to clean into a corner in the hole and then it's a "dog" to get back out.

cool thank you this all helps
