this is my first build and spent a slow 2 1/2 months working on it. building mounts, truing the tires, ect. i am about 90% done. just got the chain on ( no fuel in it yet) and i have no free pedal. its a 80cc raw motor. at some point i have also broken my throttle. minor set back before i ever get to ride the bike. i've been reading this forum for a solution and can't seem to find one. i'm fairly mechanical but this is my first motor so i don't want to mess up by going in blind. any suggestions?
help....90% complete

How is the cable adjusted? The arm should be pushed up tight and then secure the cable stay so there is no slack.
If that doesn't work, take the cover off and smack the rod in the center of the sprocket with a ball peen hammer.
If that doesn't work, put that back together, then take off the other cover, pull in and lock the clutch and tap on the metal plate (not the gear) all around it.
Let us know what you get.

ok. no binding of the chain and my tension is the same through out the rotation. i've looked at the animated clutch diagram. is the little ball behind the pin supposed to be secured inside or should it come out easily if needed. mine seems be in pretty secure. i did tap both sides,it seemed to loosen a bit. also would it help if i put some (mixed) fuel in it for lubrication
The ball (I call it a dingle berry) is supposed to spin free and will simply fall out if you remove the pin, that's normal. It sound to me as well that the chain is catching up somewhere. Are you using a standard 415 chain?
