Spent many hours on the assembly of this bike as I am a newbie in the Motor bike world. In fact I am also a newbie in bike repair or motorcycle.
For the pedal to clear the motor, I had to change the bike crank to a bike BMX crank. Still limited room to pedal.
Newbie Questions and concerns:
- The clutch is a bit on the hard side to press, but it will allow me to pedal (not locked up) when I engage the clutch. I think this is normal.
- I mixed the gas to a ratio of 1:18 ? Gas colour seem to be blue. See my album. Is this correct mix of gas?
- The sprocket is installed very sturdy and I took off 4 links. With the tensioner, I managed to get the chain straight. When cycling I can see the sprocket not very straight, should I be concern?
- Gas leak, the gas seem to leak below the gas tank. just before the On/OFF switch area. What can I do to reduce or eliminate the leak?
- All wires are connected except for the kill switch, I never unfasten the spark plug before, it was installed when shipped.
- Pressed the button near the carb to let gas in and had the leaver at 3/4 up the way...pedal like nuts and try to release the clutch while throttle on nothing happen.
Can someone help a newbie here, to the next step in troubleshooting this machine.
