Peddling & peddling & peddling!!!

Have you checked your plug? Is it getting gas? How does the air filter look?

I have found the same prob with the boy go fast engine.heres how to adjust cutch


1. Remove screws holding gear cover and remove cover

2. use some zip ties to hold clutch lever in the completely engageded position

3. remove the phillips keeper screw from the "flower"nut

4. turn flower nut by finger until it tightens.

5. replace locking screw

6. remove zip ty

7. check for good engagement by releasing clutch and attempting to roll bike there should be tons of resistance on rear wheel it should roll 1 to three inches forward and lock due to engine compression.

8. Put a pea sized dab of grease on the mating surface of the small and large gear.

9. Replace Cover and ride


I have found that the clutch on the BGF engine seems to need adjustment a lot. my Skyhawk was cherry out the box the BGF had a clutch that was movable by hand out the box. I hate to rag on BGF but for a little more there are better

nogig, on the BGF
there is a thread on this site that tells how to adjust the clutch tention through the hole of the thing that the clutch cable go'es through,I think either Jim ,Manic Mech or Norm told how

I was more or less speaking of the flower nut being poorly adjusted from the factory. And the possibility of the pucks being of lower quality if thats possible. Also the rider of the BGF kit slips the clutch to much(but hey hes only 15 and when he breaks something I teach him once how to fix it and I'm done)

I thought you were discribing a soft push feel of the clutch arm,sorry

no worries my man, I'm kinda blah about BGF eight now i should write a review. my apologies to OP for taking over his thread

Your trying to remove the whole bevel wheel? You need a puller for that... BGF usually sends them with the kit, it's a little black round thing that's threaded on the outside. Screw it in the center of the wheel as hard as possible, and then tighten the inner bolt as hard as possible and it will pop off.

But... you shouldn't need to remove that to adjust the clutch. If they're worn, they actually sell the pucks separately if you look hard enough. Just make sure you get round or square ones to match what you've got.

Are you trying to remove the large wheel that has all the holes for the pucks?.....Or the cover plate with the flower shaped nut in the center?
