I've been building this yd100/ld100 for a while now and for the most part it's done, but it has two major problems that I can never seem to fix.
First is the sprocket, the issue with it is that no matter how tightly I attach my hub, no matter the orientation, etc. It always comes loose on my rim and I've tried nearly everything I could think of from trying torqueing it down to jb-welding the inner connection, but nothing has yet to work. For anyone wondering it's a silver CDHpower sprocket hub that I got off amazon the 1-inch variant.
Now for the other annoying thing the possible leak. For as long as I've had this engine it has never ran right. It only starts when I get a good amount of speed and when I push the throttle in a bit. Another thing it does it cut out when it slows down, it acts like the speed of the engine it dependent on whether the back wheel is moving our not. Also when I give it full throttle it cuts out real bad, the bike feels incredibly slow and underpowered as well even with the mods I've done to it (High comp head, ld100 jug, triple reed valve, and a 21mm pwk carb).
I also tested the engine with the original carb and it felt almost if not even worse than with the 21mm pwk. Another thing is that when the bike is finally done running, it leaves a noticeable amount of unburned fuel(?) out of the exhaust and it also looks like synthetic oil that is slightly less viscous.
Finally the bike occasionally leaves oil on the bottom of the crankcase, no idea where it comes from but it's definitely coming from the bottom area of the case somewhere.
Again thanks for reading my abomination of a post and any help is appreciated.
