Clutch Clutch troubles...No start condition

[Patdon10]

Ok guys,
I did my first build over christmas break, everything is ready and pretty much everything is installed, but I have a no start condition.

I don't think I installed the clutch cable right. As soon as I put in the spark plug and the engine goes through its first stroke, compression builds, and the wheel becomes VERY hard to turn with the clutch arm engaged or disengaged. I've heard some people mention "pedal mode". I don't have that. If I press the engager it's always hard to turn. I pushed my bike down my sloped driveway once. With a lot of force I was able to get the wheels turning. It sounded like the engine was started, but I new it was just being pushed through its stroke. No actual ignition.

So this is my first question...can someone post a picture of there clutch arm engaged and disengaged. i really think I installed it wrong, because I have no "pedal mode" One thing I noticed I did wrong was I had the second spring between the arm and the thing you feed the cable through...

After I fix the clutch problem, I doubt the engine will still start. What setting should the carb's choke be on. I can't read chinese. Should it be in the middle? I know the engine is getting gas, because after turning the wheel maybe 100 times I had drop or two of unburnt oil leaking from the exhaust tailpipe.

Things I know:
-I'm getting spark (uncompressed). I've pulled the plug and witnessed it when spinning the wheel.
-Maybe I don't have the right fuel mixture? I poured in the blue synthetic oil first, THEN the gas. After that, I opened the fuel tanks opener and watched a blue liquid that looks like only the oil feed its way to the carb. There has to be gas in there too, right? It wouldn't cause the engine from firing?

Thanks for your help guys,
-Patrick

I could make some picks for you but first, can you move the lever on the motor (not the clutch lever on the bars) by hand? You should be able to move it inwards.Mine moves enough that it sits above the joint where the outer clutch side cover meets the engine case. I'll make pics if you want but I have the feeling you just need to take more slack off of the cable by moving the little cable end with the screw in it.

Yeah, I can move it as far as a I want inwards and outwards...unless you are referring to how far can I move it with the clutch cable attached to it. Inward you refer to as the front of the bike facing forward...how far left can I push it? Not very far.

By inward I meant towards the clutch side , the same way it moves when you pull the clutch in. If you have any play at all in the cable,that is no good. You should be able to push it by hand.I will take some pics and be back

This pic is with clutch lever NOT pulled in.

This is with clutch pulled in, bike will not move this way with engine running

That's a nice site there Bolts! Could be one of the most helpful ones I've seen. Pics are good!

As for your choke question, the choke is on when you lift the lever UP/ Most pull the choke up to start and when it starts, they push it down a bit and when warm push it all the way down. If you take the air filter off you can see how the choke works.When ON (for cold starts) the little flap shuts off air flow.

Your engine won't start with all that oil in your carb

Do NOT add the oil first
Do Not mix the fuel in your bikes gas tank
Mix it in a gallon container and put some gas in first before you add the oil then
shake well to mix before adding the rest of your gas then shake again to mix

Right now your carb is full of oil which you need to flush out with gas.
You may need to pull your float bowl off to clean out the oil
Also check and clean your spark plug
