I cannot start the bike using the electric start, only the kick start until about friday when the new battery arrives. I just ordered one yesterday. Otherwise, the battery has been deteriorating so if I try, it will usually drain the battery pretty quickly but with the cover off and trying with the little battery power that I have, yes the front part where the clutch is near the variator part moves but the belt does not engage nor does the back wheel, like its slipping. A bum clutch was mentioned but im not familiar with what that is and also mentioned WD40 into the brake switch at the brake handle. That is new to me so I assume I must take apart the housing up top to access that, correct? If so, any other info for that that I would need to find it would be appreciated. Also, if it helps, like I said, at the same exact time that the left brake would no longer engage the electric start and brake light, something started slipping. Has anyone experienced this before?
Thanks again. I really appreciate it

bum clutch? I think so. If I try without the cover, there is a piece that will fall loose and nothing will work

Its been working with no problems and all of the sudden when I was about to leave, the left brake handle no longer engages the electric start and does not signal the brake light but it does engage the brake. The right side works fine for everything but at the same time that happeneded, something feels stuck like the belt but I checked it and it seems OK. My battery is a bit bad but it will usually charge and last me a day but I had to kick start it and what I am experiencing now is as soon as I kick start it, it will stay on as long as I keep on full throttle but even at full throttle, the back wheel is not moving. What would be a possible cause and solution?
Thanks

I just rode for about an hour and it is still not riding very well at all. It can get to 30 mph but it struggles to get there, especially at mid torque and high end torque and 20 mph struggling over a bridge. It has the 100cc big bore kit, performance carb, performance exhaust, performance CDI & Coil, performance variator and all and is slower than before. The idling is much better but not perfect yet as well as the take off speed is much better. Im quickly learning but new to 4 strokes from 2 stroke motorized bicycles. Overall, it feels rich during mid and high end torque and kinda boggs/sputters but not very badly. Included were 4 jets #80, 85, 90, 95 and I have #95 in it which is what the seller recommended. Does this have to do with the air mixture? Jet? Something else? Suggestions?
Thanks!

Im not sure if this is a stupid question or not but I am planning to replace my 50cc scooter battery and im wondering if I should consider something else since its no longer a 50cc. I recently put a 100cc big bore kit. Stick with the same battery part # or something else? Battery part # YTX7A-BS
Thanks

my battery has been giving me problems so I had to recharge it and have not tested it but will take it for a test ride shortly. I started it and fixed the idle issue its been having. I didn't realize it was the screw near the throttle cable because im new to scooters from 2 stroke motorized bicycles where those carbs dont have nearly as many tuning options. I thought it was the air mixture screw and now that one might be off. Please share any insight for that screw and how to know where it should be. Thanks

I switched back to #95 jet as seller suggested, moved the needle to second notch. Adjusted a couple screws as suggested. Now just waiting for battery to charge and then for a test ride.

Well I just got back from my first test ride and it has tons of low end torque but cant get past 25. The more I try the more I cant get past 20 after a couple minutes and the high end torque gets worse. I have a #85 jet in it right now and still wont idle and dies and the seller said to use #95 but when I tried it, I could not idle properly so I thought it was too rich so I went down to #85 and it still wont idle properly. Someone please let me know what # jet I should use for South Florida where I believe the altitude is 10ft near me in Hollywood FLorida. Seller said the jet that came pre installed with the carb is #80. I wonder if thats the one I need. He said #95. I havent tried #80 though. Thanks
Cyborg- I looked for the instructions but did not find. Link?

My first issue is it will not idle properly. Before I installed this big bore kit, it was having the same idling problem. Before the big bore kit, it also was very slow off the line and I literally have to push it like a skateboard until it has alittle momentum like if it starts in second gear or something. This is essentially why I got the big bore kit. I have not installed the new 8g rollers yet that came with the kit so hopefully that will fix it all of this. I tried all of the jets that were included in the kit #85, #90, #95 and they all seem to function the same. I asked the seller which jet I should use for South Florida and they said #95 so I tried it first and it could not stay on without giving alittle throttle even with the idle screw screwed all the way in and just about the same exact with both other jet sizes. I have not driven it but it starts up like a beast and revs properly and seems like it has proper compression and seems like it will drive good. I cannot let go of the throttle or it will die with all 3 jets. I have the idle screw screwed all the way in with the needle setting at the very top. Now, I did not have a feeler guage where .004 was suggested when mounting the rockers and I think mine might be off by quite a bit but it sounds fine when I rev but I don't know the difference. I didn't have the feeler guage and now that I think about it, they might be a bit loose. I apoligize and my instruction was from youtube and this is my first 4 stroke build so im wondering if that would even cause these idle symptoms? Or what symptoms would I get for the rockers in bad positions? Hopefully my timing is right but that too might be a tad bit off. My other concern is the kit included some kind of plastic gear with mount which I have no clue where it goes and also some of the extra gaskets I have no clue what they belong. all pictured below with picture of my scooter and kit I installed. On to rollers and that part. Thanks

The carb came with 3 jets in a bag but im not sure if one is even in the carb already or not. The 3 jets they included in a bag were #85, #90, #95. Any idea What would be the best jet size # for South Florida?
