No start wonder!

check your kill switch wiring. if everything else seems to be working, it could be shorted out. just disconnect it and see if it fires up.

I guess this is a new engine and has never been started?
try this
NEW spark plug gap it at 0.025" .. here is the reason for this.... the spark plug you have now could be fowled out enough it won't fire under compression or has a crack that will allow it to short out. did you ever drop the spark plug?
empty your tank of fuel. mix up in a separate can 24 oz. regular gas with 1 oz. of 2 stroke oil pour this into the fuel tank. this is a good starting point for running you engine.
ok now if you have a good spark and fuel it should start.
You probably need to disconnect the cdi box remove the spark plug and pedal the bike with the clutch released so the engine can blow out what ever is in the crank case do this with the throttle wide open and the fuel turned off or with the tank drained of fuel leave the choke off. We are just trying to clear out any fuel inside the engine.
once this is done reconnect the cdi blue to blue black to black. make sure the white wire is insulated so it doesn't short out the ignition.
lay you new spark plug on the head and now roll the bike with clutch engaged so the engine will turn over see that you have a good spark if so now you can try to start the bike.
install the spark plug.
turn on the fuel open the throttle leave the choke off pedal it let the clutch out and hold the throttle open it should at least pop or start right up. if you get nothing then the next thing check the spark plug see if its wet or dry if dry pull up on the choke and try to stat it again. if it won't pop or fire up then I think the timing key is sheared or missing.
the mag will fire with the key missing or sheared but not at the right time.
to check for the key being missing or sheared take off the cover for the mag coil mark the rotor so you can put it back on with the correct side out. you can remove the mag coil if you want to make it easier to remove the magnet rotor.
You will also need to remove the cover on the clutch and put a shop rag in between the gears so you can remove the nut on the magnet rotor. once the nut is off gently work the rotor off see if the half moon looking wood ruff key is sheared or missing. the slot in the magnet rotor needs to align with the slot for the key you should be ale to tell right away if its wrong.
If you find a sheared key this is why it's not firing up.
You said you had spark and fuel so it leaves timing a the suspect problem I asked you to do the other things to eliminate some other possible causes. I hope it will start up before you have to get this far into trouble shooting it.
Other causes could be a stuck float causing the engine to flood or a crank seal either not installed or leaking very badly. Let me know if this helps
I hope all you've done is fowled the spark plug and flooded the snot out of the engine.
I'm also hoping you haven't installed the throttle side and needle in it wrong.
Not sure where you would put Teflon tape on the intake? All I ever use is silicone on the intake between the carb and the slip joint to the intake very slight coat of rtv on both sides of the intake gasket.

do let me know if you get it running and I hope its something simple and not a sheared key.
which isn't hard to fix just getting a new key can be a pain, the waiting time for it to come.

The little Booger( half moon Key) jumping out of the slot if you don't dab on some super glue, even then they can jump out and hide, damn things anyway.
Ok at your request its a sticky.

Good to hear you got it going.

I just went thru this thread after having trouble starting my bike. I was sure i had a blocked carb, I have always run no air filter(no room so it seemed logical. I rebuilt my cns, no luck. Put on brand new stock carb, no luck. New plug, no luck. new cdi, no luck. Eventually tired and frustrated i opened the hatch on the engine to the wiring it was full of water. So a quick spray of wd-40 and i was off. Wooohooo


4 screws probably the easiest thing to do of the lot, i should have looked here first. Damn brain led me astray lol

Figured I'd reply to this thread to help people out :3

I bought me a Raw motors 66 cc slant kit about 2 weeks ago. It was the first time I had bought from Raw Motors (I had bought from zoom bicycles in the past but they no longer ship to the US)

When i put the bike together finally, i put the gas in and tested it out. it started right up! i was so happy! but after about 2 minutes of testing it out, it died, and I could no longer start it

Disappointed, I tried rebuilding and cleaning the card, and adjusted the fuel. Still didnt work.

Re-did all my eletrical. Still nothing

Tested my spark plug... worked fine! but STILL wouldnt start!!

Opened up the compartment to my magneto to see if it was wet. Nothing.

I must have taken that carb apart 10 times trying to figure out the problem.

Finally, I thought, "Okay, Maybe my CDI is bad... or even my timing might be off"

So i called my buddy up who helped me put the kit together. He suggested I try replacing the spark plug even if it "works" with a better one. Cause apparently sometimes the stock ones just dont give a good enough spark. So i figured, "Why not... its just $4 at shucks"

So i went and bought one today... stuck it in, and what do you know, it fired right up withought a problem. cept now i gotta adjust my carb again. Im running kind of lean now, but easy fix!!

Hope this helps anyone having troubles! You never know when the solution seems least likely and only costs $4

what kind of spark plug gap you running? could be you just need to close the gap a little.

Im having trouble with my motor

Ive tried the following

2 cdi's
2 spark plugs
3 carby's

all in differetn combinations....

I now have spark and it seems to be getting fuel as the fuel is able to flow out the release port on all 3 carbys

i have NFI what it it It's an engne from Rock solid. I have never had it start for me in the 2 years i have had it

I wish I could help. I went through the same thing with two motors, a 66 and a 49. Nothing I could do would get these two motors to fire. I got rid of my Chinee stuff and bought a Morini motor.

I know it's been two years but did you contact Rock Solid? Maybe they could help you out or maybe a member of the forum there in Sydney could help you out. I've helped a few locals get going but it was hands-on and not fixed over the internet.

Click to expand...

yeah i gave rofck solid an email. hopefully they just give me a reasonable discount or soemthing on a new balanced engine. ( i boguht it from there specifically because it came balanced and it never even ran )

..and your getting spark? It just might be too weak to fire under compression. If the two sparkplugs were the Chinee ones then a NGK B5HS or B6HS should be tried. Sometimes the blue wire where it solders to the coil is a bad connection. A lot come down the line with what's called a "cold solder".
It's when the solder holds things in place but it's not really fused and making a good connection. Re-soldering the wire has fixed many.

Sometimes a air leak where the carb bolts to the intake can be the problem. Lets in too much air for it to fire...

I hope Rock Solid can help you. They need happy customers to grow and having a motor out there not working is bad publicity and you've been two years un-happy with them

yay. I got it started yesturday and rode it to class.

I stayed up to 2.30 the previous morning rebuilding the bike.

I am unsure what the actual problem was but i changed back to the standard carby, bought a brand new cdi black box thing, new spark plug, resoldered the blue wire

it didn't start on the way home though as the intake port from the carby to the engine came loose

the engine vibrated like crazy on the way to class.

I m going to do all the above .cant get started .motor stopped running after A LONG initial run .when it stopped is when i noticed that a part of the carb had vibrated off .its the small rubber button that fills the bowl and gets the air out of the line . couldn't find a replacement online so i put a screw in the hole .would this stop the motor from running ?where can i get this little rubber thing ?

I have the same problem with my motor kit. Except I have fire and I too have peddled this ***** so long that I have fuel dripping from the muffler. This motor will not crank. Guess I need to build some sort of jig so that I can attempt to crank it with some sort of drill motor as I don't have it in me to peddle this thing anymore. Any ideas on how to get it to run. As I said I have good visible fire, I have fuel flow. The needle in the center of the carb is set in about the midrange level. The screw on the side of the carb is set and about 3.5 turns from bottom. I have disconnected the kill switch, nothing will make this engine run. Any help or ideas would be appreciated. Oz

Take the spark plug out, hold or tape the throttle wide open and crank the engine over for a minute or two to clear out any fuel that may be trapped inside it.

Try a new spark plug. I recommend an NGK B7HS for starters.
Just because a spark plug will spark when resting outside the engine does not mean it can spark when under the strains of compression. The conditions inside the combustion chamber are harsher than you think.

Also, read norm's post #4 in this thread.

GOT A NEW PLUG BOUGHT A NEW CDI =JAGUAR ,BOIGHT CENT GET IT TO WORK ,MISSING JUMPERS ,DIAGRAMS SHOW DIFFERENT CONFIGURATIONS.my loopset rings out true for ohms .i put 3 of the jumpers in but all i have is a green wire going cross the box ,not the 2nd brown wire thats in the pics .

Hey Guy! great stuff!
I just tried sometime that worked fine. As an example I copied all your advice about no start in this file to a zip drive.

I have a couple cheap Tablets (Made in Thailand) have wifi no phone. I have a micro usb/USB adapter that I can plug zip drive in... now with stand I can use as class book to view your steps...in garage! leaving comuter or notebook for my wife to use

Plus I can add notes not to forget anything. Either use 5V adapter or 7hr battery.

Keep up the Great advice for these kids!
David
