Hello,
Ok so at first i had a used Schwinn frame that gave me trouble time and time again. The back wheel would come off, and the list is just too long lol. I finally decided enough was enough and bought a Huffy Nel Lusso.
I decided i'll just take the motor i have off the Schwinn and put it on my new bike which is awesome.
I did all this last night and took it for a short ride maybe a mile or so. On the way back i heard noises so i got home quickly. That problem was the rear mount bolt came out and the front mount the bolt broke off almost flush. I solved the broken bolt issue by using a tiny screwdriver and a hammer. I used the screwdriver to bite into a jagged edge that was barely sticking out and turned it out. Problem solved or so i thought.
So after getting everything back on tonight i decided to go for a test ride. No luck It was raining today lightly and i did only have a large shed to work in that's rather full of things. So i took the motor off and set it on the deck once it quit raining. I thought no harm no foul in that. Once i got everything back together i tried my hardest to get it started and no go. It has compression as i can hear and feel it wanting to turn over but it doesn't start. I tried starting it for a good 30 minutes and no luck. Edit i did leave the frame etc in the very light rain for a bit. I have read maybe a kill switch issue from it getting wet.
I also not thinking disconnected the wires without looking to see how they were connected. All i know now is i have a blue & a black motor coming from the magneto, and two wires coming from the kill switch. The guy who built the first bike added a black and a white wire on the kill switch wires.
I have spent so much $ and am at a loss now as i thought oh i can ride it to work now as it's getting nicer outside. I'm overly distraught and irritated as i work 60 + hours a week and this bike was my release from everything as i live in the middle of nowhere and it has been a blast riding here and there.
Thanks in advance.
