Default Re: Getting really frustrated with my EBAY purchase

Thank you, my clutch wont move in the direction as that picture, possibly my assembly is too tight.

I took apart the assembly to get the chain on there, its a thick one, and I cannot get the sprocket to move. I replace the clutch assembly and still cannot get the sprocket to move. There is ample grease on it and it will move the engine with the tool that came with it, but it wont move otherwise.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!!!

C) Insert cable wire through small spring and route through clutch arm and attach brass cable-end and screw. Adjust cable tension to allow very slight play in arm. Handlebar clutch lever or twist clutch must be in the released or outward position to complete this operation

D) Activate lever a few times, and check clutch arm for slight free play: About 1/16” free play is OK. Re-adjust if needed. Basics of clutch operation: The clutch lever pulls the cable that moves the clutch arm. In turn the clutch arm pushes a rod through the motor that pushes the clutch plate. ( similar to a car clutch.)Releasing the clutch lever engages the engine torque to the drive chain. The clutch allows engine to start, and engage or disengage engine torque to the drive chain. When the bike is in the pedal mode the handle bar clutch lever is locked inward in the catch notch. The bike then operates in default as it would without any engine.Periodic clutch adjustment is necessary to maintain efficient operation


Cut of excess cable from clutch arm to avoid any interference
