Hey there I was surfing through this forum and found a lot of great information on these motor bikes. I have a Shwinn set up with a 69.7cc motor which i think they call an 80cc. It just started knocking and smoking more than usual. I have only had it since the end of Nov. and probably had 1 or less gal. run through it. I used the oil ratio that it called out for for breaking the motor in. When the motor is under a load it doesn't knock but if I'm just cruising it knocks at 1/4 or 1/2 throttle. What may it be? I will attach a link where yo can go and download the movie so you can hear the knock. Let me know what you think it may be. Thanks for any info. I also bought the CDI Jaguar ignition I still need to put on.

lol

scary for me to d/l a file like that H !
never did it before...

...and ur just down there on the mesa, a few miles from me...

If you are concerned, just pop the carb, head, pipe, and cylinder off the motor and have a look. Its really not difficult.

Maybe a wrist pin bearing has gone bad?

I think there is someone in santa barbara that is retailing these motorbikes. they might have the parts for repair. I think they are in a craigslist ad frequently.

Good luck

Hey there R/C Thanks for the reply. Send me your contact info at [email protected] Would like to speak with you. Maybe I can bring it by and you can take a look if your around today. You can download that link. The only reason I did it that way on a TPS site is because the file was too big. It's just a little movie clip of my bike at idle to hear the knock. Thanks....................

Jim knows a particularly "priceless" mechanic, which he will recommend that you avoid.

If you were to tell this guy to "Make it stop knocking", you might come back later to find a doorbell installed on you bike. :)

So I took it apart and this is what I found:

Anybody hear of a bearing I can put in place of that brass bushing?
