Alright so I finally got my 80 cc engine fitted on my bike. I'm running the 16:1 ration as per the manual. However, it takes a bit of coaxing to get the engine started. I think the biggest issue I have is I can't tell where the choke should be set at, I can't read chinese. Once it's started and running where should I set the clutch again?

make sure that when released you have a LITTLE slack in clutch cable
so as not to burn out clutch
once you know that THING -- she will be starting for you real fine
a little rough on the first few dates -- kind of like other THINGS !!!

oh yes -- get the right THING Mountainman
kind of like the first date
idle
best when we start a little slow with her
too fast and we may get our hand slapped -- remember those times
idle just to where engine runs smooth -- without a stall
this is best done when she is warmed up
choke
don't choke her to death -- she may say no next time
once started and she's a little warmed up
bring the chock back slowly to the off position
if brought back too fast she may stall
you won't get lucky that time
try to ease her back (chock) as you keep her running smooth
it just takes a little time and she will be the one for you
keep her running smooth
and she will always be true
have fun as you ride those THINGS

Full choke is with the lever all the way up
Take the air cleaner off and you will understand how it works
with the plate blocking the carb intake and will let you see what
partial choke looks like.
When your engine is running for a bit push the lever al lthe way down
Idle: Once the engine is warmed up turn the idle screw until the engine runs smoothly but doesn't stall. You can do it by ear and feel. It isn't rocket science.
You shouldn't have to adjust the clutch if it is disengaging the engine so
that you can peddle with it pulled in

reply to choke
On my 80cc......
I have quit trying to use the choke at all.
The 'tickle' button simply lowers the float and lets more gas into the bowl....
When the motor is cold I hold this button down untill I see gas dripping.... it starts instantly and runs great.
