So, I ordered a bike kit. Bicycle Motor Works is the company, Big Kahuna model.
Put the whole thing together *correctly*, wheels wouldn't move. Looked it up online, most common issue was clutch. Disassembled relevant parts, found metal shavings underneath the clutch plate. Clutch plate is off right now, gears resist turning when I use a screwdriver to manually turn the little gear. I have oiled up the big and small gears opposite the gear connected to the chain. What are the usual suspects and what are my options? I've been at this for two days and the last new information I have is hit the 3 pins under where the clutch plate was with a hammer. I'm not hitting it with a hammer until I can consult with some veterans.
This is a fresh, unused motor. I've noticed that these things tend to sit in boxes and rust up.
Thank you for your time.
