So I decided to try to start selling these bikes. I've only made a few but this engine (a 66cc skyhawk 2-stroke engine) is giving me some issues- the bike accelerates without me giving the engine any throttle. So as soon as I start peddling, let the clutch out, the engine starts fine, but then it just starts accelerating when I'm not giving it any throttle whatsoever.
Things I've Tried: I tried switching heads from another engine that works perfect but that didn't seem to solve anything (the reason I did that was because the person who sold me the engine said there might be a hole in the engine somewhere and is causing a compression issue or something....?)
Well anyway, that didn't do anything so I replaced the gasket, which didn't do anything. My final attempt at fixing the issue was to switch carburetors from a working bike to the one I'm having issues with. Which (you guessed it) didn't do anything.
Things I've double-checked: I made sure the throttle and float wasn't stuck in the carburetor. I made sure the throttle cord wasn't stuck on the inside of the throttle.
I can't think of anything else. Anyone have any ideas? None of my other bikes accelerate the way this bike does. And when I pull the clutch the engine revs instead of idling.
