n00b With new china motor stumped

Since you know it is firing it may be your fuel mix, you said you added more oil in the first post. I would empty the tank and carb and fill it with 24/1 mix, 5oz to a gallon.
 
I have, i was messing with wiring and got it running again. Every time it dies there is no spark amd there is always spark before iget on it. I think It is the blue wire from the magneto, When mess with it Sometimes i get my spark back
 
Are you still using the brass looking push together connectors? Sometimes they do not make good connection. If the connector is not the problem use your meter to test the blue wire, set it to ohms and touch the leads together to check meter operation then touch one lead to the end of the blue wire and the other to the solder joint on the coil. The meter should zero out or the needle should swing , move the wire around and see if you loose the connection. On one bike I had a new kill switch that the wire was broke inside so it could happen on a magneto.
 
The whole Blue wire and circular metal peace came lose And off of the coil. Where Should it be soldered Back On to? i will try to get a good pic
 
when the wire fell off I took the covering off the coil, the ring that you see on the top of the coil is where the wire was positioned. I didn't see any sign of it being soldered to anything On the coil but did on the wire. zpt

To repeat what I posted in the other thread you posted in, throw that coil away and order a new one. Removing the outer wrapping and insulation probably did more damage to it. Just replace it and then your engine will run again.

Thanks again two door, i just filed it in the round file. Its been a long process but ive got it figured out finally. I am ordering a magneto from the link greg posted. I will post results
 
this is going to sound real stupid but I'll try and check your switch just unplug it and see if the bike start with the power switch un pluged.....

if the bike starts up fine with the kill switch unplugged then what has happened is you got water in the switch or the cheap switch broke.

the switch on my bike stops working every single time it gets water in it, and the exact same thing happens it'll just cut off and die, and I will not be able to start it again until I will go and play with the switch or disconnect it. finally I did away with the switch all together and installed a real one, I had to do that because the vibration from the bike was causing the switch to vibrate around and cut the bike off and on while I was driving.

when your bike cuts off while driving the first thing you should check the switch in order to check it all you have to do is disconnected and see if the bike starts back up if it does and the swhich is the problem.

if the switch is fine then you can move on to the spark plug boot in the magneto. it has been my experience that the CDI box hardly ever fails I am still on my first CD I am on my second engine it has over 4000 miles on it and it still in perfect workingorder
 
Thanks again to all who helped me, glad i found the Problem. Couldn't have done it without you all. Since i learned how to resize pictures i will put one of my bike up here. Id like to see some you guys built too!

You did a nice job and that is a quality looking bike, keep a close eye on those fenders, a fender comes loose and it can spell major wreck sometimes so really keep on top of the fender bolts.

I'm glad it is running again, I have the Schwinn oversize seat on one of my bikes. That seat makes long rides less painful.
