Hey all,
Original Issue has been resolved: I needed to tighten the Clutch cable! They really should provide better instructions to how the clutch works! XD
Remember 90 degrees is engaged, 45 degrees disengaged!
New issue: I am getting no spark. The of the same engines, two CDI's, two spark plugs- Same issue. I've checked all the wiring, revamped and cleaned up all cables, fixed spark boot cable (Wires were not touching the screws)- I cant seem to get any of these engines to create a spark! any advice on this would be super helpful!
Original Issue:
I just built my first bike and couldn't be happier with the progress! ... other then the fact it won't start... if you notice something wrong, be gentle! I don't have any previous engine experience and this is my first step into the bike-engine world. - If I posted in the wrong section, please address this and I will move it where it needs to go...
I've decided to go with a basic kit from the internet and a Huffy Cranbrook as my stock testing bike. I'm not trying to build something wildly incredible, just a commuter bike for some fun. I'm not expecting anything out of this other than basic functionality... I've had some poor experiences on other forums due to elitist attitudes. I really don't care for it, please come here with the intention to help, or for learning- otherwise, keep moving.
THE ISSUE: The back tire locks up when the spark plug is in, at first, I assumed it was the piston hitting the sparkplug- after I removed the plug the wheel started spinning with little effort-- however when I cover the spark plug hole with my thumb, I can feel the compression but the rear tire locks up again. I have double/Triple checked the chain tension and length- the engine is new- 80cc kit from eBay seller with a very high reputation for these motors-- though, it's still a stock Chinese motor.
Any help would be much appreciated!
