Hi everyone, I'd like to introduce myself here by posting this thread concerning my goal to build a motorized BMX bike. You're probably thinking, "motorized BMX", is this guy crazy? I would agree and say yes, but I'm not that crazy. Like, think of all the other crazy things I could be doing...

Howdy, I'm building a hill climber, not a street racer or commuter. There are so many brands and merchants selling motor kits now that it's crazy. I'm looking for guidance/tips on which kit I should select on a budget ;). 56 to 60 tooth sprocket Hopefully sprocket adapter If it's bad, I will...

So, there i was, carried the beast down the stairs of my apartment - 7 months of building and dreaming in my office space, and finally the day has come. Threw oil in, some gas, went to start it up, BOOM gas i dripping from the carb filter. That issue was resolved quickly - realized i ran the...

Hey Everyone I have a high idle and this occurs with the idle screw all the way out and not throttle cable bindings no air leaks anywhere found. and I'm a bit curious of what could be the problem running about 4k rpms at idle without choke and with choke it settles all the way down to about 1k...

Quick question... I have a Skyhawk Gt5a, and I shaved the head for. Higher compression. .. I am being told by 2 different people 2 entirely different "normal" readings for a stock engine. One guy says 80-90psi stock Other guy says they come 130-140 stock. Pretty big difference here. Any...

I Have noticed a lot of the people on this forum seem to buy a certain "Name Brand" (GruBee, Flying Horse, RAW, Zeda, BBR, Golden Eagle, DAX, etc) and roll with it. I was wondering, has anyone here bought one of the cheap, generic kits you can find on eBay, Amazon, Wish, etc. ? If so, how is...

Gents, It's time to discuss the elephant in the room: v twins! For years, this forum has been asking about the ability to use a v twin in a frame and this summer I plan on making that a reality. Several months ago I saw a v twin air compressor pump and wondered if it was possible to convert one...

So I have set the engine onto the mountain bike have checked the spark plug for spark and I do get spark when tested on the outside case. I can get the engine started when I peddle to 20km/h but it wont idle and The throttle needs to be full throttle. If I start at a lower speed I get...

hey guys, so my first build i ran it and the engine idled flawlessly. For a while, then the bike would no longer idle. When I pull the clutch the RPMS shoot sky high. When I leave the clutch it’s always trying to go like a car placed in “drive”. Any ideas? Thanks guys!

Hello, I have a 80cc CDH Power with less than 200 miles. I'm still using the 16:1 mixture, however recently it began losing power specially when going uphill and the other day it completely left me stranded. I had already cleaned the carb a couple of days before that. Today after changing the...

Problem-first start** -engine won’t idle but runs with 1/2 accelerator with clutch engaged - soon as clutch is disengaged while riding the engine sort of stalls an accelerating does nothing - the engine sounds like it is either starving or flooding maybe ? Things to consider ? -Bike came...
