New here and got a problem

Can you just use the carb from the motor that was running strong?

Thats the weird part... I am using the carb from my last engine. My last engine was running so strong. The plug was a nice brown color. This one has a black plug and 4 stroking like no other.

ok. I installed a new carb and same problem.

Im thinking maybe I getting some vibration somewhere or it needs broken more. I further talked with the guy that sold it to me and he had it on for less than 2 hours, more like 1. He switched to a different engine because of 2 reasons. He cracked his frame and this engine has a smaller mount on front. Seems like a really nice guy and will look at my bike if I cant figure it out.

Im open to more input if you are willing.

Thanks again

i still say ride it more. mine ran slower than i hoped for when i got it, and after reading a million other posts, i figured it just needed to break in. after 3 tanks of gas, i was full throttle-ing it down the street, probably going 25, when suddenly it smoothed out and took off. the radar sign by the school said i was hitting 34. it ran waaaay smoother and faster.

THEN, i started messing with porting and jetting.

if you try to much too soon, you'll probably never get it running right.

just have some patience, and bog it around for awhile...

Thanks... I will be put putting around as much as I can this week. I have never broken one of these engines in so I didnt know if it was broken or what.

Thanks again. This forum is great. I look forward to being here along time.

Problem Solved!!!

Turned out to be a bad top end. It had bad blow by creating low compression. Was either not broken in right, or just a dud. Either way I slapped on one of my broken in spare top ends and hit 30mph up hill.

Thanks for all your support.

WhooHoo! Nice - ride the heck outa the thing


'course u prolly don't need that encouragement lol

30 mph up hill? You should name that bad boy Carl Lewis.

Or Usain Bolt !.....LOL

where do u live u might have to adjust ur neddle in the carb and must port the intake and exaust pipe and cut the gasket to fit u loose lot of power and run plenty of oil in the mix it conditions the motor and does not cause power loss hit me up
