It has spark I tried to start it when I popped clutch the wheel never stopped spinning and when I walked the bike with clutch not pulled in the wheel at first won't spin but does move a little bit!

Checking the clutch plate it had no spring in it for one! Buy back wheel should turn when clutch isn't in right?
you need to explain what is happening - is wheel turning, but motor is not? for that you need to open both covers and see where turning stops
is back wheel not turning? for that you need to take off clutch plate and take out spark plug and see what doesn't turn

The problem they are turning the clutch and the back wheel! The problem I am having is they will not stop turning! I push bike forward they both turn free they turn free with or without clutch pushed in
I got tired of working on the last engine I had so I thought I would get a new one! Big mistake already tearing **** apart and haven't even got it to start yet!
Sorry crassius don't know what everything is called!but yeah you got it! Had clutch lever way in so that's why everything kept spinning! Back wheel keeps skipping without clutch lever in I don't know how to fix it! Gonna go try it now see if it starts bringing a hammer and a trash bag with me cause if it don't gonna take a hammer to it then clean up my mess!!
unhook the clutch cable. see if the motor turns over. if not remove the chain cover from engine it has the clutch actuater built into it .if that daesnt make it turn the engine the engine over check the clutch actuater pin and bearing to make sure it moves .if not make sure it does move it could be stuck.if no good at this point its in your clutch itself
OK I unhooked clutch lever same thing wheel skips!and when your on bike and try to pop the clutch with pressure on it the rear wheel doesn't skip just keeps on rolling!don't know what clutch a is or where it is or where the clutch a pin is located! I know one thing I just blew 150 I didn't have for this POS ENGINE!
the side that your bike leans to when its on the kick stand is the left side. get on your bike. look down. look at the engine at the left side. at the rear of the engine you will see a cover with three screws. take those screws out. that has the clutch actuater in it.when you look at it you will see a gear for your chain and a pin sticking out.thats the pin that you need to make sure moves.behind that pin is a small round bearing,some times they stick.make sure they move. if not squirt wd 40 down the hole after you pull the pin. use pliers to pull the pin.reassemble in oppesit order
the arm that works the clutch should point to the back af the bike.adjust the clutch acording to instructions. if no instructions ask here.some one will help you
OK guys I was thinking something was wrong with my clutch! Think I had lever pulled in to far that explains back wheel spinning I put new carb on adjusted lever it started! Want to thank each and everyone of you for your input! I really do appreciate this forum you guys are awesome!
