So basically I had this bike go for about 25 miles. It ran fine, mo problems. Just a hard start on the first start of the day but once it started, it ran like a champ. Today I had to remount the engine on a new frame (Wal-Mart replaced the defective tire and bent the axle at the same time. They wanted the bike back, wouldn't just replace hub.) and it ran fine.
I rode around for about half a mile testing it out, stopping and revving it and it seemed to work. I headed over to my friends house (1/2 mile) and up the hill, the engine seemed fine. On the way down, I held the clutch and the engine died. At my friends house, I put in some gas thinking that I ran out. No luck, it still didn't start. I pedaled back home and I filled the tank 1/2 way with the fuel I used in the beginning. It started but was a very rough ride and then stalled. I started it again, which took about 3 minutes and then held the clutch and revved. It worked fine and revved. I let it idle for about 30 seconds and revved off and on. As soon as I lifted the bike and hit the gas to spin the rear tire, it stalled. Now it won't start again.
Any ideas? I haven't tested the CDI yet but it's had less than 25 miles on it. I'd be surprised if it broke. The carburetor is also mounted properly and leaks out fuel when I open that screw on it. Gas tank drips out fuel fine. (Even tried w/o fuel filter with no luck)
I've heard stories about the coil being bad. Do you guy's think that's the case? Does this seem electrical or an engine issue?
