I recently bought a 100cc motorized bike kit off Amazon and once putting it on I’ve never been able to start it or make it idle whenever I try kick start it doesn’t work and when I pedal and let go of the clutch lever it starts and accelerates as long as I’m throttling but if I let the bike come to a stop or a slow speed or pull in the clutch it dies. Can anyone please help me out have no idea what it could be

If everything is tight and there are no leaks then it is probably just a carburetor adjustment. Do you know how to adjust the carb needle?

The first thing I suggest is to make sure all the bolts on the engine are snugged tight. I'm pretty new at this too and had the same issues you describe. A little tinkering with the carb solved it.
