Engine Trouble New engine won't pedal

[frostic]

take off both the clutch cover and the one on the drive wheel and remove the flynut if it spins without the flynut off then it is NOT locked up, if the chain is pushing up on the drive sprocket you need to get a dremmel tool and mill the drive sprocket a bit. NEVER EVER TRY TO RUN IT TILL YOU PULL THE WHOLE CHAIN OVER THE SPROCKET else you might break your chain or do worse damage. if the sprocket wont spin with the flynut off then it is indeed locked up... if not then dremel the sprocket to make all chain links fit over the teeth. after that then put the drive sprocket side on first so you can adjust the clutch. NEVER put the drive sprocket side on after the flynut side or you can mess up the bearings. make sure the cylander shaped bearing is in the drive sprocket before you put the cover on that has the clutch lever. also check the clutch leaver dor damage inside the cover where you insert it. if you need more assistance please reply and let us know if you fixed it. and what steps you took THANKYOU
some videos out there say just run it and the chain will steatch. DONT listen to them they are dumb and prolly go through chains like a cookie monster eating cookies.....


note: some drive sprockets DONT fit the chain provided in kits. you have to mill the sprocket teeth by sanding them down a bit so ALL chain links fit over them... not just the first few as most people will only test a few links.... some chains will break if not seated... and i suggest buying a better chain. as the ones with the kit are made of butter and really suck... id say get the chain upgrades that have a slimer chain. they are alot better imo...


another issue i found is that the actual cover dont give chains enough clearence sometimes so need to cutout an area so the chain has clearence. if needed i can take pictures of what needed done to my latest build.

I had that problem where the sprocket cover was hitting the chain and I relieved it some and now problem gone.

i just used my dremel and routed out just enough so it wouldn't rub on it.

That is all I did.

sounds like the clutch is stuck or not adjusted properly, but could be a chain problem - take out spark plug and if it seems to turn more easily, then fix the clutch - if it still won;t turn, fix the chain

Bro I am having issues with this spark plug...... If put on the spark plug, it won't pedal... But if I remove the plug... It pedals......
Please help bro

The clutch is not disengaged... You're going to have to adjust it and or look for missing parts.

Start with the basics is the cable seated on both ends?.

How does it feel when you squeeze the lever down? floppy like the cable came out?, or rock hard like the clutch spring is bottomed out too tight?.

Should have a smooth pull to it and disengage before it's maxed out.

Is it possible that you could have put in a wrong plug and its hitting the piston?
