New motor

[Dorianjeffries505]

So I've got a new China doll motor and it's doing the same thing as the old motor i had with it not starting. It is very tight and wont rotation over at all. Any ideas guys?

Take the plug out an the sprocket cover off, get a big socket (17 mm??) and turn the engine over with the nut on the end of the clutch rod. If it turns, then it's a clutch issue.

So here is a new one for you. So after I get it running and I let it sit it does this frozen piston but if I take ans engage the clutch and push backwards it starts almost right up

I struggle to make sense of what you said, and I can read through poorly written things better than most. I'm gonna go with, no. lol.

Runs backwards but not forward?

Since your bike will only go in reverse you'll have to learn how to ride like this.

You got a timing issue, sounds like anyhow

Had same problem then it broke free, i think the clutch pads sticky on the pressure plate, on being new, its freed up now, but had to take jug off first.
