Only starts in the morning

[newhobby]

I have 2 stroke afranti 100 cc motor on my bike. It is my first build. I finally got it running and it's been all problems. It seems to only run in the mornings. After I shut it off for a while it will not start the rest of the day. I'm dumbfounded I need help guys please!

I already have the NGK spark plug. When it starts it fires right up and goes. Drives great. Then after I shut it off for longer than 10 or 20 minutes it won't start up again. Idk what I'm doing wrong to it

So I had to rig a radiator hose from my carb cause it wouldn't fit in my frame

That part is okay, it's what that is at the end that's no good.

Put a socket on your head bolts and see if they are loose at all.

And also dump that gas out of the tank, never take someone elses assurance the gas is ok...You do not even know what the premix ratio is for that gas or how old it is since I am betting it is the usual gasoline with ethanol in it which breaks down quickly.

For breakin purposes on a new motor, you want to mix around 5.5 ounces of conventional 2 stroke oil to one gallon of Ethanol free gasoline if it is available where you live...Then shake it vigourously in a gas jug dedicated to just your bike before pouring it into the tank.

Anytime you refill that gas tank from the jug you will also need to shake it...each and everytime.

What do I get for the mixture and do I pour it regular gas? I can only get regular

I use a regular, ordinary, kitchen measuring cup and just pour the oil into that, I then pour the measured amount into one gallon of gas and start shaking to mix it properly.

Use 2 stroke engine oil.

40ml to 1L, make 2 liters at a time.

Check them daily for awhile. Only 12 ft/lb though.
