Hello! I am new to all of this...sorta. At this point I have replaced almost everything on this bike!
Anyways, my problem is this....when I purchased the bike it did not have a kill switch on it. This being my first motorized bike, I listened to, and believed the *******s I bought it from, who told me to just let the clutch out, and the motor would stop. Well I quickly learned, this is not the proper way to stop the motor, and you can and will kill your clutch doing this. So I installed the proper kill switch, no problems, everything was working perfectly.
Well I was riding along, everything was fine, I needed to stop at a stop light, but my hand slipped and I let the clutch out, and the motor stopped. Not that big of a deal, happens right? You shouldn't do it, but sometimes your hand just slips. Well anyways, I went to restart the bike, and the clutch wouldn't engage the motor when I released the lever. I stopped to look at the bike, and I noticed the back tire was free wheeling without the clutch lever being pulled in.
I took it all apart, and nothing appears broken, very dirty, but not broken.
The clutch still will not engage the motor, and the back tire is free wheeling.
I just got through fixing a leaking carb, and I know there was gas pouring all over the thing. So I was planning to clean everything real well, and get all of the grease and gunk out, so the clutch works better, but it isn't even pretending to engage properly.
Any help?
