bicycle engine clutch.

Something else take off the lower cable mount and shoot some grease in the hole watch for it to come out around the bearings behind the sprocket and behind the clutch this is where the real spring for the clutch lives and if you look at my total tear down you will see just what is in there.
Hope this will help you out all kinds of good stuff here to do and try. I don't think any other forum has done a complete tear down with pictures and text like is on here hope all this info will get you a good running ride on your motorized bicycle.

My bike motor seems to have a whining sound.....is this normal ? The clutch seems to be correctly adjusted so I'm not sure if it is coming from that or something else. Any ideas ?
Many thanks....

PS..I ordered another kit today to make one for my son. This one should go together much easier.

Yes, these engines have some pretty wicked gear whine, some more than others.

Check the gears and make sure they have a small amount of grease on them. Lithium or high pressure wheel bearing grease work best- just a little dab will do ya'.

Hi Norm, I noticed your clutch pucks look different from the ones we had. Is that an older style motor? Is it a one piece clutch or is it the same concept as the motors we got from DAX?

Thanks,
Ken

Easy
I'm not sure I have a Dax engine I could pull off the clutch plate and take a look I got one from Kings and the rest from boygofast so beats me!

Norman says counter clockwise and I would add that it wont take much, I'd try less that one turn.

When I need to adjust my cable end, I take it out of the arm move it where i think it needs to be tighten it, then push the arm back until I can slide the cable in. Work like a champ for me.

What are you turning counter clock-wise, and for what purpose?

Okay, do not have to take the small gear off to turn the clover nut thing. Okay, let me get this straight. Pull the clutchin and lock it then remove the set screw, then turn clover nut clockwise. Then put set screw back in. The clover nut does not look like it has anything to put a wrench on from the photos, must be easy to turn hu?
