For the key It is possible the vibrations from the engine knocked the key loose enough that the magneto picked up from pure magation..
It was vibration more the normal and my exhaust tip had came off. I had tightened everything up after and well it just sat as I was waiting for a new exhaust. Sense then it hasn't worked..
I will try to get the key back in place properly and try again..If it still don't work then I officially give up and I will take it apart and mail it.  |

| | Re: Bicycle Motor Refuses to start  DUDE!!!!! I'm first in line!
Really, I've done worse myself....just not for awhile, could be my turn next.
Now, don't get too worked up about the key- you can get one from almost any hardware store, or seller of these kits.
You be riding soon, I just know it.

| | Re: Bicycle Motor Refuses to start sorry laughing with you. when i first installed my bicycle motor on my bike i stepped back to admire my awesome custom mounts i made and looked and looked and something didn't look right. i finnally notice i had mounted the bicycle enine on it backwards and if i was using the front wheel for the sprocket it would have been fine. all i could do is laugh at myself and start all over.  | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
