First off - Does anyone know where I can buy the throttle cable bracket for the carb? I tried to grind down the one that came with the engine because the fitment was so tight..but basically ruined it. I ended up just just holding the throttle cable with zip ties - which worked perfectly lol But obviously not an ideal long term solution.
Also, the chain kept coming loose after very short drives. The rear wheel and engine were both staying put, bolted very tight..so I think the chain is just stretching because it is new. After a few adjustments, seems to be stretching less now. I tried to run without the tensioner, but seems to be better with it.. Keeps the chain from rubbing on the bottom bike frame/arm.
After about 6 miles of riding the clutch locked up the rear wheel. The last few miles it was getting a little jerky at certain speeds.. Then finally it locked up and I had to carry the rear of the bike home, which sucked. I haven't taken it apart yet, but will probably just order another clutch. Virtually everything that came with my kit was junk (other than the engine itself, so far). So I'm assuming it was just a very crappy clutch.
The engine plate was a joke also. I had to grind it a bunch just to make it work..but it is definitely not ideal.. I will order another. I will never buy another complete kit again. Better off piecing everything together individually.
