This is my first bike so i dont know what to expect:
I have a worksman newsboy... 42 tooth sprocket... brand new (about 45 min of use on it) "80cc" skyhawk... no tensioner (motor is shimmed) ...i weigh 220#... formagasket around carb/manifold joint.
When i go up a 20 degree grade the engine would die if i didnt pedal to keep it going. The motor also wont move from a standstill without some serious feathering of clutch and throttle. Also, the motor runs best so far with the choke slightly on (about 1\4 of the way)
Is this ok, or is something wrong?
thanks
