Bought a 2011 Taotao ATM50-1 with 960 on the odometer(that's 960km I assumed). Ran great for the test drive and was always garage kept. I keep it under a car port now and due to horrible weather in Michigan was unable to ride it for a few days. I finally took it to work one day(7 miles/20 minute ride of stop and go) after the rain let up. Parked the bike out back of work until I noticed it was starting to mist. I pulled the bike in to the back room at work where it sat for 5+ hours. I went to start it up at the end of the night and noticed I left the choke on(no0b I know). So I bought a trickle charger and the next day I left it on until the charger said full(5 hours). Still i got nothing, nor could I kick start it. To be thorough, when I say "nothing", I mean I push the electric start and there is absolutely nothing. I will pull the brake and get a full tail light, but the headlight does not turn and nothing even cranks or buzzs or whirls or beeps(the horn does work though 
). As we speak I about to go buy the NGK Iridium plugs and some Synthetic 10w40, so maybe I will find a loose wire tonight when i change that. Any help towards getting this thing to fire or just any other adjustments or improvements would be very welcomed. Also a recommendation to replace the stock carb seems to be the first thing I should do and that the fact it's almost got 1k on it with out seizing is luck.
