Clutch issue

[Mars4]

Just got new motor from eBay this is my second build. The bike rolls freely when I press clutch and release it. It always rolls freely. Removed all 3 sprockets to check the keys all fine. Still does the same thing not sure what to do

do you mean it does not engage the clutch?

 

[Mars4]

The clutch engages but when I let go it still rolls like it's engaged when it isn't

My first guess is that you might have the clutch cable too tight

Or you need to adjust the flower nut.

Adjusted it same issue

 

[Mars4]

I also disconnected the clutch cable completely and the bike and chain still roll

I've tried loose, tight it still rolls

Check and see if the clutch plate is stuck to the pucks. Sometimes new engines kinda glue themselves together and you have to whack it with a rubber mallet or something.

Thanks I tried that also. Took the entire clutch apart checked spring and put it back together still doing it. The spring on the shaft was so tight loosened it. A little better but still rolls without pressing clutch

take the side covers off... roll the bike & figure out whats turning (& whats not) & report back here.

All 3 gears

If the small gear is moving and the engine is not turning over either the key under the gear is broke or missing, the compression should provide resistance to make the clutch freewheel.

This is very strange, I'll be watching to see what you find.

I can turn the small great with my hand and it moves the Piston up and down.

Yes it is strange I'm at a loss not sure what to do. I'll keep at it

So is the piston going up & down when you roll the back wheel?


You need to post some pictures because you're not making much sense.

the sprocket that the chain is attached to is not supposed to turn unless you squeeze the clutch.mine turns no matter what whether you squeeze a clutch or let go of the clutch

Maybe I'm wrong but that's how the other bike is that I built
