Hi guys, i bought a motorized bike today for 170, runs perfect, has a custom pipe, and everything that could possibly be done to make the engine kit more secure and safe to the bike has been done. I Bought it without an air filter on it, the guy said it fell off while riding. .shft. Well, i tried to put a piece of cloth in front of the carb where the filter usually goes, and the bike would not start. the second i took that off to allow the most possible air to come in, the bike started instantly. What is my problem here? I would like to run an air filter if possible.

Alright, just didnt want to have to buy anything first before i diagnosed it. Also, at high speeds, the bike bogs down, i figure too much air intake? It also spits out gas from that opening too. Normal?
