I just received my thatsdax 50cc engine today. So far I got the engine mounted, gas tank, throttle, and clutch. However, I am having issues with 3 things.
#1. Carburetor - Unfortunately the bike I am using there is not enough room for the carb. Fortunately, my father is a mechanic and stopped by today and told me how to route the carb using PVC pipe and a rubber hose. So I am hoping that works out.
#2. Rear Sprocket - So the pieces I got for my rear sprocket are as followed: (1) Sprocket, (2) Rubber Disk, (3) metal pieces that when put together make a circle, and (9) bolts/washer/nuts.
Issue is that the holes do NOT line up. and the 3 metal pieces overlap each other! This is how I have it set up. From the outside of the spokes... Sprocket and then rubber circle then spokes, then another rubber circle, then the 3 metal pieces. I downloaded the KingsMotorBikes Installation 49cc, which is nice that they offer that. But I can't figure this out. Maybe I have to take these 3 pieces over to my dad's house and grind them down a bit? That doesnt resolve the fact that not all the holes line up.
#3. Chain Installation - According to thatsdax and the installation manual (KingsMotorBikes), I need to remove the cover from the engine sprocket. There are 3 screw holding this cover in, and they either welded or used lock tight on these things in China!!!! Not I nor my brother get this things off with a screw driver. I am scared to keep trying in fear that the screw heads will become stripped. This is my #1 problem right now, as I am sure I can find some sort of way to resolve the other 2 problems. This one, I have NO clue what to due. I'm soaking the screw with PB lubrication oil to see if I can get them un-done tomorrow. Last resort is calling my father after he gets off work to swing by and take a look.
Any suggestion (especially regarding #3) would be appreciated. I am getting a little frustrated (expected reaction when dealing w/ Chinese 2 stroke). Thank you for all who reply
ThatsDax is a great company, and have lived up to their word about everything including shipping. I even called him today and told him that fedex put a hole in the box and he was willing to replace any parts that were missing, and up to this point all parts seem to be there, but he gives 200% customer support and I am very happy with his professionalism. I know this box was sealed from China to my doorstep, so I DO NOT blame thatsdax for these issues (especially #3), I just need to find a way to fix it. I'm calling thatsdax tomorrow to see if he can help me over the phone
