Hi to all,
Well Sorted the carbie problems on my 48cc 2 stroke Zbox motor, and it was running great. BUT I was riding it today for a short Sunday ride to help build up the miles for running it in. Before I go to all the trouble of pulling down the whole thing others may have some ideas. Well I was riding along and all of a sudden the motor revved hard like I had all of a sudden pulled on the clutch ( like a car slipping out of gear into neutral ) I revved the motor and the bike was going nowhere. I pulled over and stopped. I checked the chain this was OK. I pushed the bike with the clutch out and there was no resistance. It seemed at first like the clutch had **** it self. But low and behold it started working again. I peddled off and dropped the clutch and the bike started I rode about 10 metres and it again popped out of gear,, then popped back in gear I rode about another 30meters and all of a sudden the rear wheel locked up. I pulled the clutch in ( IT WORKED ) and peddled the bike home. Once I was home I tried manually pushing the bike but it seemed locked. I pushed the bike backwards this seemed to unlock it I then was able to start the bike it runs but has some internal noise. So I don't want to ride it until I work out what happened. I mean like I would be silly not to fix it now, as there is a definite noise and no doubt that noise is some thing that's hanging by a thread.
Hey this motor has only done about 30 kilometres about 18 miles. I don't know how I would get on talking to Warren about this. I don't think they have any such warranties
I'll tell him anyway
Thanks Gilbert.......
