Doesn’t kick start, Doesn’t idle, dies when clutch lever is pulled in or when it’s stopped

[newuser3466]

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

Having the ignition wires taped/strapped to the exhaust is a potential part of the problem.

Just a guess

There not melted or anything so would that still be an issue and how so?

Also the tapes there to hold the exhaust to the frame since there only 1 bolt and it keeps rattling out when I go out for a ride originally the wires were going behind the pipe

Any ideas on what would stop it from idling and killing engine when clutch is disengaged?

You have to get the wiring away from the hot exhaust. One reason I see that could be affecting things is the angle of your carburetor. It should be close to level

Looking at the pics I don't even know how the gas is even getting to the carb. Looks like the fuel line is too long. Looks like the carburetor is above the filter

Here’s some pics of the bike not the best of builds pretty dodgy but just want it to idle before I get to looks. Could the exhaust not being mounted properly be an issue? One of the exhaust bolts got stripped haven’t had time to extract the bolt out so only running 1 bolt. exhaust isn’t really doing anything much tbf because you can see a little in the pics the exhaust is to the side because there’s only 1 bolt

YEP, YEP, YEP, I do..Read these three posts I just posted and fix the things I see in the pics...It never ceases to amaze me the problems people are having that we can see if only folks would take pics right from the get go...How much time we could all save by seeing and fixing obvious problems...lol...lol.

First thing is to do is something with that carburetor/motor set up...That is way too much of an angle...Your carby should be standing up as level as possible not leaned almost into a lay down position...That float in the float bowl is not designed to work lying down at an angle...It is actually flooding out your engine in that position...Remember, that is a gravity feed carby, not a fuel pump...Your engine is literally drowning in fuel....That whole thing is really at too extreme of an angle to ever run properly, if at all.

Get RID of the electrical tape and GET THOSE WIRES OFF THE EXHAUST PIPE.

Of course not, you haven't had it running long enough to get to its proper heat in the first place.

Get those wires off of that exhaust before it all melts and shorts out. which it will when it finally runs long enought to get it up to temperature.

Two words..."Fix it"

Just from the things I saw in the pics, it's no wonder the bike doesn't run.

A note on the exhaust only being held on with one bolt. That needs to be repaired for a few reasons. I won't go into great detail, but suffice it to say it will cause more than one potential problem for you down the road.

Take the engine off the bike, and trade the bike for one that has the room for an engine. That bike doesn't work for motorizing.
