I have a question about a little pin that I received with my bike. It is in a bag that has a note that says "For Push Start". Can anyone tell me how and where this is used? I presume it is used in case the battery is discharged?

Hi tbirdguy,

Sounds real hi-tech to me. I don't have a clue because my Ambassador is the original version #1, and has the normal automatic clutch. I hope you don't ever need the pin, because the Ambassador is mighty heavy to be push starting.

Have fun,
Quenton

I just put mine together yesterday and I was wondering the same thing.. Does yours idle?? Mine has got me pretty bummed....Wont Idle.. messed up th carb adjustments.. Spitting oil out of the head where it connects to the exaust pipe. The hose under the seat is either smoking or wizzing fuel out of it. And its a SLUG! Is there anybody out there!!

Hi Troyboy,
Mine did not idle when I first fired it up. I spent yesterday seting the idle mixture and idle speed. After I got that done I found out that it would hardly pull itself. The more throttle I gave it the worse it would run. I ended up reseting the main needle valve in the carburetor slide to the leanest setting. (Top groove on the needle) This made a big improvement but I could only get a top speed of about 28 MPH.
I am afraid it sounds as if there may be some serious problem if yours is spitting oil out. Anyone else out there have any suggestions?

Hi Quenton,
I hope I don't ever need to use this pin either but it sure would be nice to know how and where it is used!
Do you know if the automatic clutch is adjustible? If so, I would like to adjust it so it will come in at a lower RPM.
Is there a trick to get my bike to run better? I took it out for the first time yesterday and could only get about 28 MPH top speed out of it.

Hi Guys,

I can help on the oil issues, the leaks, the severe lack of power, and happily pass on information about my Ambassador [version one]. Many have called me about the CVT, but it is important to get the motor running smooth first. The CVT appears to have some possible engineering glitches, but if coupled to a poor running motor it will have a harder time. Most engineers know a CVT eats power, and in order to make it operate correctly often more power is needed.

I had a 100% failure of the compression release [in the head]. After number 5, I replaced the release with a machined 10 MM bolt. I still have a bunch of the compression releases in case anyone wants to do more research.

My Ambassador started much easier without the release. If the pipe starts turning blue near the manifold, check the compression release valve for leaks. If you want to amuse yourself, check the compression, and you will soon see an area than might be modified to gain more power. My NE/SE motors average from 125 to 165 pounds of compression.

you are welcome to call me for additional information and photos

Hello All,
Does anyone know where a fella might be able to purchase a service manual for the Ambassador II ? (Including the automatic clutch) I asked Whizzer on their website, but I am not getting any response.

I would suggest you call them and ask for one. I have several NE5s & a 2008 Ambassador and no service manauls. The last known service manual was for the 1999 model. 1-877-944-9937. I read a post somewhere that the NE5 manual would soon be available, but don't know if the Ambassador & NE-r will be published at the same time.

Have fun,
Quenton
