About 2 months ago I bought a Skyhawk GT5 66cc and it ran great until yesterday, and after reading numerous posts I think its an air leak but I'm not exactly sure.
So first let me start off by saying that I was never able to run the engine (with strong power) with the choke fully disengaged, the engine would just not produce enough power. So instead I ran the bike with the choke half-engaged and that gave me tons of power and speeds up to 25-30 mph.
After two months of everyday use I decided I would run a little check-up on the engine. No scratches on cylinder, piston was clean, carb was clean, and everything was nice and tight. So I put everything back on the bike, took it back out and immediately noticed a complete difference. The bike wouldn't even get me around without the choke fully engaged. The bike idles completely fine but its just when I disengage the clutch it seems that the engine has trouble getting me around.
Also the engine can run at high RPM's when idling, but it would take about 2 seconds of pulling the throttle with the choke disengaged for it to finally take effect, but with the choke engaged it would rev right away... weird.
So what the **** is the problem? its buggin me...
