Engine Trouble New engine won't pedal

[Nicholas Thompson1999999]

I just bought a new 80cc engine kit and put it together rear wheel drags hard to pedal wheel occasionally turns when pedal does turn which is when I push the pedal as hard as I can then it only turns like a little bit not even half an inch however pedals fine when engine isn't connected to sprocket

wheel also doesn't turn when in air I have tried pulling the clutch in doesn't help

are you sure the chain is not getting stuck in the drive sprocket, where the chain goes into engine? otherwise, the engine just might be engaged and you need to relook at the clutch cable and arm assembly.

it gets stuck occasionally but most times its not

sounds like the clutch is stuck or not adjusted properly, but could be a chain problem - take out spark plug and if it seems to turn more easily, then fix the clutch - if it still won;t turn, fix the chain

it was hard to turn before I put the spark plug in I put that on last

 

[crassius]

in that case, I'd take the pressure plate right off the clutch and roll the bike to find where it's dragging
