will barely reduce the speed but fuel consumption will be considerably lower.

throttle increases fuel consumption.

Your child should switch off the engine if longer periods of engine idling or standing still are expected.

Info
If the motorcycle is unwilling to start, the cause can be old fuel in the float chamber. The flammable ele-

If the float chamber is filled with fresh fuel, the engine starts immediately.
Empty the carburetor float chamber.
Fuel can flow from the fuel tank to the carburetor.
