Hello im dave . I'm new to this cool informative
site this is the bicycle I built (Eleanor)... Here's the issue I rode it
yesterday on wet pavement and I'm thinking I must have fried the cdi
or possibly the magneto , when I tried to start it the next evening (tonight) it
Would start to turn over but Would sputter and eventually bog out
never achieveing full start up
..
Like it wanted to turn over but wouldn't
go and if I quit peddling
or released the clutch . While its trying to turn over it only seems to
have and little happy spot when squeezing the clutch at about the
quarter of a squeeze if that makes sence ... I'm trying to make this
easy to understand but I'm getting confused typing and re reading it
well I'm about to add the
jackshaft kit to her and figured I'd ask you all before getting into that
whole thing what u all may think or already may know what the issue is
I just don't wanna add the jackshaft if something is seriously wrong
with the engine .... And I possibly would need to replace something or
the engine itself idk I don't want have to reassemble if it's no good I
hope this was easier to read than it was to type on an iPhone hope the rest of ur Sunday is a good one
thanks for any and all help
