I've been going through the forum and haven't seen anything quite like this.
So I've had my bike out for a couple runs now that the weather is nice, it's a 66cc china engine and it's been running great. After my last run I gave it some lube, greased the chains, a little wd in the control cables to keep them nice and a little lube on the crank gear (not on the pads).
Now today I went to take it out for a spin and it is extra hard to start, couldn't actually get it going. When pedaling when I release the clutch it feels like the compression has gone way up or that its partially seized. I tried taking the plug out and the piston moves freely and smoothly, doesn't feel like its binding or sticking anywhere. It's a stock engine, no high compression parts or anything. I also sprayed some cleaner down the exhaust, doesn't seem to be clogged Carb is also clean.
So I was wondering if anyone had any ideas why it would take over double the effort to pedal to get it starting?
