Hard starting back tire slide sometimes...

Shouldn't be that hard. If the cylinder is flooding with fuel...it could become hydro locked. Trying to start an engine in this state can be detrimental to the engine. Just something to check. Best way to check is by removing the spark plug. If it turns over easy with the plug removed then that would tend to make me think the cylinder is getting flooded with fuel.
You might want to try shifting your weight just as you let the clutch out. I had a couple motors that liked to cause tire skid, too, shifting weight did the trick.
Pedaling up to a higher speed helps, too.

i had the same problem.... i had to peddle HARD when i let out the clutch AND ten minutes later the side plates were so hot my wet finger would sizzle.
at 400 miles the piston did a hard seize. i finally managed to get the jug off and the casting seams had never been removed!
the dealer claimed a 6 month warranty but said this was not covered, just buy another moter!
stay dry

If you can decrease the engine compression a bit you'll end up with slightly easier starting. Kind of a wonky way to do it, but 2 headgaskets might do the trick.
I'll get some head gaskets next time I order.I'll try that Aleman, thanks..

Dragray thats how my 48cc skyhawk is with a cns carb is I got it dial in.I got this engine from BGF it's a 80cc I had so many issues with it.First thing was seal was bad on the magneto side from the start,second thing was the spring in nt speed carb was binding up keeping the idle up.Third thing was the gas wasn't vented right had to drill a hole in gas cap.So i'm trying to get it dailed in so I'll try the 2 head gasket thing to see if it works.I can pick the back tire up on the 48cc with cns and kick the pedal a half turn and she fires right up no choke either.
