So after copious amounts of trouble shooting, rebuilds, teardowns, one broken exhaust stud and several bleeding fingers later: my motorized 66cc bike is finally running great. Doesn't bog down or 4 stroke now that I made my own gaskets out of 6 layers of aluminum sheeting.
Problem now is that it won't coast anymore while idling. It struggles and eventually just shuts off. If I disengage the clutch and coast it will continue idling fine. It also idles fine when I sit at red lights with the clutch disengaged.
Is it my throttle cable? The connector on the throttle handle housing is broken so the metal elbow that the throttle goes through is sort of dangling. Is that why I can't ride and idle anymore? Also, when engaging the throttle I have to rotate about a quarter turn or so before it engages at all. But this is odd because my idle screw is all the way in, so the slide should already be pretty high up in the carb.
I had a massive exhaust leak due to their being only one bolt for about 3 days and it would still go about 10-12 mph while idling. Now it can't coast at all, like a car should when you let off the brake in an AT.
Idle screw on my High Performance Carb is screwed all the way in. ALL the way in, cannot go any farther and backing it out more than 1.5 turns causes the engine to not even idle while stopped.
Checked for air leaks etc. already. I mainly need to know if this is being causes by my throttle cable being too loose or whatever it may be. Is it my jet? Is it my throttle cable?
Thanks in advance! This is my first post because this forum has so much information it hasn't been necessary yet.
This is the carb I have. http://www.bikeberry.com/engine-kit-parts/performance/66-80cc-high-performance-carburetor.html
