Yet again this project is getting messy. I have the engine on the bike and I am having some issues with getting it started. I have everything wired correctly but tell me what the wires should connect to. There is a red/black wire and a blue/white wire that comes off the magneto harness. What color wires do they connect too??? Also I have checked for spark and I have some but it appears to be a little weak. The engine will turn over and does so freely. This is perplexing me really bad please help!!!

I misspoke on one of the videos, the vacuum hose, and fuel hose are in the right locations.

Thanks Guys

Thanks. I would have if I weren't being pushed for time and being frustrated with even building it.

Alright Alley, You were right the variator was the issue, now here is the second challenge of the night.

I put the engine on the bike tonight and turned it over and the engine tuned over flawlessly; but, the compression forces air out of the chain tensioner. I must add it is a brand new tensioner is new and the gasket is new as well.

Hey Alley, I have the thing slapped together all the way to that point and I am thinking that the variator itself is off. I got the case and everything from parts4scooters. www.partsforscooters.com/180cc_kit_gy6

I got the crank from
enviromoto.ecrater.com/p/6362994/22mm-stroker-crank-gy6-150cc

Everything went fine until this point and I am at a total loss right now and I hipe that I can get something going pretty soon.

I am thinking of using this crank instead of going with the 4mm crank. Do i have to add shims or anything other than putting the engine together?

I am going to purchase a 232cc crate engine from MBE and the drum back that is included with the engine accommodates the larger 16" wheel. Now if there were a way for me do downsize the drum bakes that come on the engine, I am game for that. A few years ago I converted the drums on my 84 GTI, it was during this hard project that I learned that drum definitely beats disc but you are right the looks are the only benefit.

I am getting ready to buy a crate engine from MBE and was told that the GY6-B engine drum brake set up is larger than the brakes on my scoot. Does anyone know what I have to do to convert my wheel over and or where do I find a wheel to accommodate the larger drum of the new engine?
