I just got my new MB up and running. Its a Grubee Skyhawk 66/80 from gas bikes. I have less than 10 miles on it. I am still running 16:1.
The AWESOME instructions leave out any mention of the hoses running off the carb. I have two of them that run to no where. The one that concerns me most is pictured below.
The hose is on the starboard side of the motor. It runs from the bottom of the bowl to nowhere. What really bothers me is that it steadily drips gas down my leg as I ride.
I took the bike for about a 20 minute ride today. For the first 15 minutes it ran fine, for a Chinese 2 stroke. The last few minutes it began to bog down. I fiddled with the choke and got it to run better.
At the very end the bike would start but not increase in RPM. It would bog out when I gave it gas. I had to give it gas AND pedal (while its running) to get the motor running right.
Fortunately I was close to home.
The spark plug looks a bit wet.
I assume that the fuel leaking from that hose is not how the China Men intended it to be.
