So A buddy gave me his bike before moving and though it wasn't running he said all i needed was a new carb and throttle and Id be good to go.
After getting them and getting the bike running I took everything apart, painted the frame the color I wanted with the gas tank matching, got some new wheels and handle bars and painted the inside of the rims red. boyyyy is she a beautyyy nowww!
Since this is my first build and I have no previous experience with any electrical or motor work I figured there would be a lot of trial and error through the process.
Motor is on it now and the most difficult for me as far as setting the motor and its parts back has been the clutch
The first time I got the bike running after maybe a mile the bike suddenly started to lose power until it just shut off. So I wheeled it back home and messed around with things until I was ready to try it back out.
as I was peddling and let go of the clutch and hit the throttle nothing happened. so I reached down and pushed the clutch pin back out by hand (I thought that I felt that the clutch wasn't springing back all the way when I let go of it)
sure enough she started up again but only to do the same exact thing as before and lose power and shut off after a little under a mile.
Since I have no experience I wanted to trade ideas with you experienced folks and see what I should do to trouble shoot this
Also I have no clutch cover and it is missing the clutch lock screw next to the flower nut. Just to add further details that may help you guys help me.
Thanks in advance!!!!!
