Working on my 4th build.
After the bike sitting in the garage for a few weeks, I finally got around to getting it running again. Had it running just fine, put maybe 3 miles on it over a few days.
Replaced the magneto because it seemed the spark was a little weak and there was some gas in the magneto case because it had leaked from the petcock. Turns out i just needed to turn up idle speed. Kill switch also does not kill the engine.
Anyways, I went to start it, hadn't changed anything since the last time I rode it (a few hours before) and when i dropped the clutch in, the engine completely locked up, and gas poured out of the air intake. Tried again, and still won't turn over at all. I know the chain isn't jammed because it moves just fine when I disengage the clutch. When I drop the clutch in, the wheels just skid and the cylinder doesn't budge.
What's wrong?
