I'm looking for advice on getting/keeping my motor running, here's the explanation:
So basically, when I get myself going on the bike and engage the clutch, the motor engages and rumbles, but with no power output. Like the engine turns over only because the momentum from the bike turns it. There is no power in return.
Someone once suggested I take the spark plug out and ride it around to "reset the pressure inside the engine" or something ... and that works!!! If I take the plug out and ride it for 30 - 60 seconds, then put the spark plug back in, it fires right up no sweat and runs beautifully!
The problem though, is that I have to do that EVERY TIME if I want the bike to work. If I leave it sit cold for even 5 min, the engine will go back to that lame rumble with no power output next time try I try to fire it up.
If I ride continuously with the motor, kill it, and fire it back up shortly afterwards, it still works great! Again, if it sits around for 5 minutes though, then I'm back to square one....
Suggestions, diagnoses, advice!? I'm open to anything!!!
Thanks,
Ryan
