Hi there,
I just finished my first project, so I never own a motorized bike before I have no idea how it handles, but something feels wrong to me. I fitted a chinese huasheng cheap 4 stroke engine. All went smooth, besides few bolts snapped and few fingers cut. The engine starts and runs nice. Idles as it should. But I don't know what to think about the centrifugal clutch. I thought it should run smoother, but instead I got a rough hiccupy start. When taking off, and all the way to about 10 mhp ewerything is shaking and vibrating. I was aware to not expect smoothness like in scooter, but seems too rough to me. The clutch and shoes looks fine. Springs in place. The single chain looked bit loose, so I fitted a home made tensioner. But still no change. Chain is lined up with proper tension, no skipping or rubbing. In high revs it flies like dream. But in stroll and low speed the ride is unpleasant. Almost like I feel the bike is pulling intermittently on every single piston movement. It it something wrong, or am I being picky and this is how centrifugal clutch work on these bikes? Cheers!
