So its my first build,
I got this engine for 100 bucks my guess around 66cc-80cc bicycle engine (I got 2 these bad boys)also picked up
a bike that was in rough shape one those OCC or Jesse james chopper bicycle, with no back wheel so it has one those gear bicycle rear wheel but I hooked up a chain dosnt really work well the way pedal sprockets have wide spaces between spikes so the chain falls off after few pedals so I been push starting this thing and trying my hardest get this bad boy going I been running and jumping on and holding clutch in and releasing while holding back throttle engine revs then cuts out, not spinning chain hooked up to the engine to the rear.I fooled around with the choke a few times tried different heights no such luck.
Things I did,
1. Drained carb bowl.
2. Made sure I can hear my throttle needle moving up and down.
3. Made sure wires hooked up were alright black to black and so on.
4. Checked fuel lines.
5. Changed manifold position so carb slants up (Didn't test yet since the adjustments)
6. Checked and made sure my clutch wire is fine (Which is perfect but 1 issue when I turn left the lever holds clutch in)
Do I need to pedal this thing to get engine to drive? -
Also ordered a Alloy pull start and few odds and ends im thinking about hooking a 12v LEDs to this get its attention it needs in the night time.
