Engine Trouble bike wont start

Clutch

I really think it's a clutch issue.
first, he said that the clutch lever has very little tension (a sign of the clutch or cable being way out of adjustment).
he is hearing a squeeking noise, a sign of the clutch actrually slipping.
the engine won't turn over, another sign of the clutch slipping.
he didn't mention of the rear wheel turns while trying to peddle start it or not.
if the rear wheel keeps turning when the clutch is released, the clutch is slipping.
I don't think it's an ignition or fuel problem at all.
I'd place my money on a clutch issue.

Powerwashing is a bad idea. this can cause water to get into the magneto which will give you no spark, which will only add to the problem.
if it were a jammed chain, the rear wheel would be locked up all the time.
keep it simple and don't dissassemble too muich at one time.
I'm betting that the problem is right there in plain site...which again, probably has to do with the clutch slipping in my opinion.
Yer right Moto, But ya notice I said " as long as the clutch turns the motor over". Of course if it don't then it's a clutch issue. And yeah, power washing is the worst idea I've ever heard. But this is comming from the guy that say's the B6HS is a useless spark plug. If I EVER let my motors get so dirty they needed power washing someone should shoot me.

correct you are!
If ANYTHING with an engine that i own ever gets so dirty that it needs to be powerwashed, then someone needs to shoot me!
 
Don't shoot me!!!

Yeah Moto, I've been working late in my shop every night this week so my garage is tore up from the floor up, (Perhaps I should be shot for that.) BUT MY BIKES ARE CLEAN. If nothin else goes wrong, (yeah right,) I'll be getting that in order tomorrow.

thanks for all the sugestions

im goin to get on these things
and ill post soon on my progress
im preety sure its my clutch and mabey a little dirt
im gonna give it a good wipe down
does gas mixtures go bad if not used???
 
really want to no if it runs ive had gas sit all winter and still good have u checked 4 spark all it takes is gas and spark 4 any motor 2 start oh compresstion 2:unsure::cry:
 
Yes, petrol will lose RON rating over time, worse the oil will seperate from the petrol and then block up your carby, because oil is heavier than water, so it sinks to the bottom of the tank and is pulled through the line first.

That'd take a while though. I've run these 66ccs after been sitting around for 6 months, same fuel, started first try, ran fine.

You just wouldn't want to keep the same petrol for a month in a proper two stroke, these little china diners arent really fussed though.
 
Starting

Thanks Al. It's a great "quick check" list for anyone with a start problem. I'm gonna copy it and hang it in my shop.
Big Red. :love:

true, you need fuel, compression, air and spark...but you also need a way to get the engine to turn over before it will run.
if the clutch is slipping bad enough, the engine will never turn over at all.
if the engine can't turn over, then it can't make spark.
so getting the engine to turn over is the first priority here.
notice i said turn over......which means getting the piston to go up & down.
 
:poop::cry::sick: guess ur trying 2 say is your hearing is bad oh and ur eyes if u check to see if u have spark then u would know if the motor turns over or not. :unsure::geek::bowdown::giggle:
