Hello I hope somebody may be able to help me, my latest motor bicycle is sh*tting me to tears- every time I ride it, after about 15 minutes or so the motor dies like it's run out of fuel. I have tried changing the carby twice, soldered the ignition wires, removed the in-line fuel filter and checked that the petrol flows. I am so sick of having to pedal home every time I use it.
My bike is a 5 speed repco ATB fitted with a jackshaft shift kit. The motor is a (so called)80cc straight plug head unit with a head light power kit added.
Can these motors over heat? Having 5 gears gives me the ability to maintain a high load on the the engine regardless of speed (-something this motor is shy of as it wont pull 5th gear unless I am going down quite a steep hill! I put it down to not being a high compression motor)
Could the light power unit or the standard ignition components be causing my grief? thanks in advance, John
