Hi my 50 ran out of petrol and hasnt started since!?

I ran out of 4 stroke petrol, i had to put in 2 stroke petrol a risk but i was stranded, as i walked to the nearest house and was given lawn mower juice!! There is no spark now even ona new plug i bought. Do i need a new coil or what? thanks karl ]]]

there is no difference between 2and 4 stroke petrol ,is the plug wet or dry when you take it out ? if you put the plug back in the ht lead and rest it on the engine is there a spark ? check ht lead and cap

best to clean carb as running out of petrol will send all sorts of rubbish into the jets

if you cant manage that take to bike shop
