Bike works fine, but won't move much

G'day all,

My pocketbike will turn on fine and run, but it won't move. When i lift the rear tire up the wheel will spin fine, and reving the engine will make it spin faster, but not as fast as it used to.

This started a few days ago before i replaced the clutch (the old ones shoes were completely gone), popped the new clutch in, and now it won't drive me on it. The new clutch is identical to the old, so i can't see how that could be the problem!

Any suggestions?

maybe your clutch is kickin in later. I'm not 100% sure as im not a 2-stroke mechanic.

have you tried to adjust the clutch??

Its a standard non-adjustable

huh, ive only had ajdustable clutches on my bike...id just keep messing with the clutch, make sure its tightend or something.

Yea, its tight, and its got the keyway so its not going to move

I just looked at it...the old clutch pads start where the new clutch pads have already finished on one side of it.

Might just have to buy another clutch (adjustable). Although i have already spent enough on this....Anyone want to buy a pocket bike with a Dellorto Rep. Carby?

I'll hook ya 20 bucks for your dell'orto 14/14 rep air-filter

btw before you sell out check your clutch bell, spin it and make sure it's balanced and not swaying side to side
