Hello Norm,

I am having some issues that I hope that you can hopefully help me out with.

I have full writeup of my problem here:

new member - first install - questions? of course

Basically I am having an issue with either the rear side of the clutch dragging or the cross shaft dragging. In order to determine which is my problem I am proposing that I totally remove the large gear/clutch assembly as you show here:

bicycle engine total tear down

If I remove the large gear/clutch assembly can you verify that the cross shaft should spin freely? answer: with just the clutch arm pulled in the cross shaft should spin freely as long as your clutch is adjusted properly.

If this is true, I need the following questions answered:

1. Is the bolt that holds the large gear on standard or left hand threaded.

answer: it is a right hand thread. If you want to remove any of the gears or sprocket nuts jam a rag between the large gear and small gear to lock up the engine and then you can remove the nuts on the sprocket or large gear the screw slot on the small gear can be a booger to get loose if you do not have a impact hammer tool.Norman

2. Where can I get the puller that is require dto remove the gear, do you have a part #?

answer: If your engine kit didn't come with the puller you can order them from one of the vendors on this forum.Norman

Thanks!!

-Justin

i have another one...i went to a website that sold parts for 2 stroke bike engines and they sell a 410 chain if i get one of those will it still work and is it easier to take the links out

answer: I don't know if the 410 chain will fit you might want to take a sprocket off the bike and see if it will fit on the sprocket. I have no idea if it would be any easier to break the links my guess is no it will take some work to get it apart. I did buy a bike chain at walmart that a walmart chain breaker will not work on. The walmart chain breaker is not a very good chain breaker either they seem to break before the chain does. Norman

hi norman i got 4 bikes well yesterday i washed them and well to of them and got water in the case the magneto shorted out is there any way to fix them i checked the ristance on my other motor from blue to ground and was 355 and on the dead ones got nothing did i just short a wire out or somthing same thing on both of them it sucks it how me and my girl ride good thing i got 4 of them i guess

let them dry out good then try it make sure all of the soldered connections are still good one soldered wire is very hard to see and you might need to remove the mag coil to see it. It's soldered to the frame of the coil. you might have the kill switch shorted out if you drowned the bikes with water or a loose connection in the wiring. check the spark plugunder the boot of the plug make sure its dried out well.

has anyone put there stock gas tank onto a rear bike rack??????

**Norman** · #89 (**permalink**) 11-05-2009, 10:57 PM

yes they have there is photos of some on this forum but just where I don't know, you might try using the search and see if you can find them. I know some of the vendors here even sell fuel tanks that are made to be mounted on a rack.

Hi Norman

I've done a search for crankshaft balancing and it turned up nothing on the correct weight to remove and how and where to remove it from an 80cc style 2-stroke engine.

I am having serious difficulty finding a competent machinist in my area who knows how to balance and true a 2-stroke single cylinder crankshaft.

Hi-res photos would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers Fabian
