Ok, I purchased a skyhawk 66 cc motor, for my 21 speed schwinn. I had it running very well last night. Today not so much. It won't idle..period. I had the cns carb on it. level, and the throttle felt great...last night. For cns carb owners...i took off the pink tube.
Symptoms of issues-
When i ride and get up to about 8 mph, i engage the clutch..engine will start, surprisingly smooth...but will never idle, or deliver any power hardly. if i stop pedaling it loses power till it dies. also, when i had it running well, and would give it fuel...sometimes i would pedal a couple times to pick up the pace a bit, and there was no resistance at all in the pedaling...however now it has a lot of resistance and its alot of work.
What i have done to remedy the issue-
I have read about adjustments..i screwed the idle screw in all the way..as suggested by the manufacturer...I then backed out the air/fuel screw to 3 turns..no help. So then i reset air/fuel screw and started testing micro adjustments...no help at all.
So i called spookytoothcycles and talked to Roland the owner or whatever. He said...remove pink tube...*done*
Adjust carb idle all the way in and back out air/fuel 3 turns..*done* i was told it should run. Maybe it's not the carb.
Maybe something isn't "catching?" or engaging correctly? All i know is that it ran very well, and now it doesn't run at all. Spark plug also looks fine.
