Hello fellow enthuist,
I am so glad to find this forum and am hoping someone can offer some advice. My name is Larry reames and am from Peoria,Il. I just put together my first motorized bike and enjoyed the experience till it turned bad. Looking for ideas or suggestions.
Let me begin by telling you what I am working with. I am using a 2011 26" Schwinn Delmar Beach Cruiser($125 from walmart) with a 66cc 2-stroke that i purchased from bikeberry.com. We got it all put together, put the gas/oil mix in(8oz+ 1 us gallon gas) and it fired right up on first attempt and several starts after that from us turning it off to make adjustments to the chain and carberator. the only adjustment made to carberator was on the inside. I had the slide barrel in wrong and was sticking wide open. took it all apart and fixed the slide and it was good after that. so i took it for a ride approximately 2 miles in, i hit a small bump in the road and it lost its ability to fire. i also noticed at this time that a motor mount nut of the u-bolt mount had came off. we used a test lite on the wiring and the only response we got was from the white wire coming off the motor when we would peddle and release the clutch. We tried a different plug and cdi off my brother in laws M.B., still nothing. any ideas or suggestions would be helpfull and appreciated. will post pics of my cruiser soon as it is running and worthy again.... lmao thanks guys happy motoring
