Default Starting and running problems- cheapy Chinese bike.

Hi Guys just bought a Chinese enduro bike for dirt cheap £130 for something to do during this winter.

It's an 08 plate, 3000 miles on it. However it was left outside for a year so naturally when I got it home it didn't start.

Cleaned plug, drained fuel, took off carb freed up the carb slider which was stuck, cleaned, back together started .

However it wont hold idle at all and will only start and run with choke fully on. Thats problem number one

The end can has a huge whole in the side would it not hold idle due to lack of back pressure? Although i have never come across this before.

Problem two is the rev counter wont work, along with the front clock lights, headlight both beams, and indicators no sign of any life at all. I went through the wiring, everything seems too look ok, no split cables, everything wrapped up nicely etc. Im thinking a relay or something?

Any advice would be appreciated
