Hey so This 80cc motor kit has been complete hell for me. I ended up taking it to this guy 2 hours away where he told me why my bike wouldn't even turn over, which was because the piston came installed backwards and the top end didn't come with top or bottom gaskets. After installing everything, the bike ran great for probably only 10 miles before I felt oil on my leg which was coming from the bottom gasket. While replacing it I noticed that the top gaskets were crushed and caused the piston to hit the top of the cylinder. After replacing those, The bike will now start but only stay running while pedaling, once you pull in the clutch or give it gas it'll bog down and die. I cleaned the carb, played with the settings, and still does the same thing. I even bought the upgraded carb off ebay and tried seeing if that works (which it didn't). This bikes been nothing but a money pit so it would help me greatly if someone could tell me what they think is the issue.
