Hey! I've been perusing these forums for the last month or two and finally got my first 66cc kit in the mail today so I figured I should finally join in. Anyway, upon mostly installing my kit(for the life of me can't find an Allen key to move my stupid twist shifters) and noticed the rear wheel will absolutely not spin by itself. At first I thought the clutch was stuck and read a few threads thinking we had the same problem, but upon removing both the cover over the magnets and the drive sprocket I am able to push the bike just fine without issue. With the sprocket cover/ clutch lever attached the only way my bike moves is if I turn the bolt on the magneto's rotor(or flywheel?) And slowly inch the bike around.
Inside the cover there's clearly a spot where the chain is making contact and wearing the paint down, that spot also makes it very hard to put the cover on on the first place. Basically I'm wondering if it's safe to just grind that bit the chain is hanging up on off and call it a day? My guess is that wouldn't really mess up anything, but I'm no mechanic.
Also its probably worth noting, at first I couldn't get the sprocket cover off at all, and feared completely stripping the screws, so I tried putting the chain on with the cover on and there was a metallic "pop" kind of noise that I just assumed was the chain forcing it's way through, but it got stuck right after so I ended up backing it out and shortly after I managed to get the cover off with a flathead and adjustable wrench and put the chain on right. Anyway, I'm not positive this didn't mess anything up, but the sprocket looks fine, and the clutch seems to engage and disengage fine still, it's just a matter of it hitting the wall of the cover.
So, any ideas if it's safe to just grind or file away the problem area? Thanks!
