so a few weeks ago I put together my build from some years ago.
Many thanks to SBP, specifically Jim for all his help. He personally emailed me with answers to all my dumb questions.
Now I think I have some engine problems.
My mixture is 40:1. My idle is what I consider perfect. My plug is a pretty close to perfect if not perfect color, after much fidgeting. My engine is a 66cc on a cruiser bike, 7 speed with a SBP shift kit. Now that I've adjusted and perfected things like my rear dérailleur and brakes and started moving, I can't get a decent speed.
I'm 230lbs give or take, I haven't been hauling a load behind me. Going from gear 1 on the bike, (don't have tooth specs with me now, can get them later) I hover about 18 miles an hour. Going up each individual gear, I only gain about 1-1.5 miles per hour, occasionally 2. By 7th gear, I top out at 29.
If I don't sit on the bike, prop it up, and use WOT to spin the tire, you can really feel that two stroke vibration on my pre-balanced crank. But while on it, very comfortable ride...no vibration really considering..just can't get any speed or anything.
Any ideas of things to look at?
