[Elias49cc]

Hi all, im new to this forum.
i would greatly appreciate any advise, or tips how to overcome my problem.
ok so, i got this shell honda 49cc Bike for free...







Ok, so heres my problem.
So i went to my uncles house today to pick it up, we got a new CARBI for it cause it was wrecked, so i was very excited to take this for a spin.

We start it up, and it revs.. i accelrated and it was just reving loud..
heres a vid, of what it does
YouTube - 49cc Major Problem


Before we even started it, we put CRC into the clutch by accident, but then we put THINNERS into the clutch to dry it all out.

But the clutch seems to be slipping, giving no accelration to the back tyre to move.

If anybody has any soloutions, advise, please, please give this to me.
if this means me getting a new clutch i will, but all the advise given to me, tips, would greatly be aprreciated.

I live in SA.

Thank you crew!

in the video it seems like the clutch is trying to engage its seems like its choking out or the choke is still closed ?

when you start it you let it warm up for 30 secs or so & make sure the choke is open once you want to ride
if its the standard carby with a tap the choke lever down position is open or to ride

the choke lever should only be up or in the closed position (for first starting the bike when cold)

let us know how that gos first ?

[Elias49cc]

thanks for the reply.
yeah i'll try that tomorrow..
just abit late now, 10PM to start the Pocket Rocket, wake up the Neighbours haha..

but yeah.. so what excaclly should i do?
cause im 14, i have a bit of knowloedge, but not ovally enough.

Step form please?

[mac90]

choke lever up = closed to first start the bike <<(!! only if engine is cold !! once the engine is warm you should not need the choke)

if cold let it warm up idle for 20 or 30 seconds

then push choke lever down = open to ride

[Elias49cc]

thank you
i'll try that tomorrow..


while i got ya mate, is this bike that i have anything special/rare/faster..?
just wanna know abit about it as i got it today.

[mac90]

just a basic chinese cag like most you see on ebay i think? unless it has SQ stamped on the frame somewhere usually on frame up near or under the tank

im fairly sure its just choke position but if its not just a simple choke position problem it may not be getting enough fuel ?

so make sure vent hole in cap is clear & no kinks in fuel lines

this link may help you get the idea of the chinese made bikes Cagclub.co.uk Bikes

[Elias49cc]

yeah...
i filled the tank up today so thats fine.

so if this doesnt work, whats wrong with it? new clutch?

[morty]

yeah, definately get a better clutch anywayz.. those clutches are for kids.. $10-$15 gotta be worth it and sounds like you need a new plug.. just go grab a $4 bm7a from supercheap and you'l quickly find out

[Elias49cc]

[morty]
