Hi, my names Mike. I am new to the forum and am in the process of building my first bike. I have been reading threads on here for a while now to assist me in my build and have found you guys to be unusually (in a good way of course) helpful in troubleshooting problems. I have a 66cc HT engine kit off ebay.
My problem is I finally got the bike completely put together but found that when I try to pedal or spin the rear wheel the clutch (maybe wrong word? The sprocket on the engine turning the chain) gets stuck after a few feet or so, locking up the back tire. I know the clutch is working because I cant move the wheel at all until I disengage, and then is seems fine. I made sure the chain is aligned, and cut to the right size so I don't think its because the chain is falling off. And I also found that when I spin the tire in reverse it seems to spin perfectly without any problems.
Any ideas?
Thanks for the help in advance
