Hi all,
This is my first post to this forum, but have been using it for months. It is an amazing resource, and this is the first time I haven't found a thread that answers my question. (I have an 80cc 2-stroke on a cruiser frame btw)
My issue:
When I first start up the bike it does a very strange thing as it warms up: I prime it, pedal, pop the clutch, flip the choke down, and it roars to life... but then in slowly loses thunder and stalls out.
I go through the process again and it does the same thing, but tries to hang on. As it dies it will gain a bunch of power suddenly (almost throwing me sometimes) and then die back down, pick back up, die back down, die.
Most of the time on the third attempt, i can push through it, and the issue stops till next time it cools down. (although I do sometimes hear a fluctuation in the sound of the motor, with a similar pacing to the stalling)
My friends and I have built 4 of these bikes in different configurations. Mine is the only one with the stock exhaust, and the only one that has this issue. Is my engine having trouble "breathing"? Do I need to mod my tail pipe? (and if so how? can I just drill a couple of holes in it?)
