Finally got this "thing" (or Entity) finished..blood sweat and tears..went out today all psyched up..my son rode down hills and pushed back up..It kicked over and spluttered then conked out and just didnt have the steam to power up..I disconnected the kill switch (one wire to blue / the other to the frame for ground) thinking it was killing it but no..still stubborn..Maybe we had air in the lines because I did noticed that after priming it the gas line from the petcock did not fill completely up and had about 2/3 gas to 1/3 air ??..The choke was "up" / the clutch cable was not slack / the gas mix was right for running in (20:1 unleaded and synthetic) / the black and blue wires from the motor to the power were connected / the pedalling speed was OK and he kept pedalling until it stalled / nobody lost their cool we just went home pushing the heavy beast trying to think logically and being positive...Any ideas..I posted a pic of the "stubborn one" knowing that at least the job is over but the fun may be delayed for a short time while we get our thinking caps on...The smell of the gas was a small reward for all our efforts..Try again tomorrow.
