i've built 4 of these bikes and all of them will idle once warmed up. As far as break in thats a matter of a rich fuel/oil ratio and at 16 to 1 they still idle
Thanks a lot man, just finished my bike and had no clue how to start or run it, very helpful video
Cool beater bike, Rat Rod. Left side of the carb there is a screw idle adjustment, turn it clockwise to get an dle, turn more will increase the idle speed as desired.
OK. been riding bikes since 1972. meaning i have been working/tuning them since then too. Know all about idle adjustment. These little motors are not that finely tuned. I'd rather use the throttle as it works for me. I was exaggerating the "blipping" for newbies....
Mines similar old free bike with a bad paint job burned it but not completely
@@HughesMotorized my bike idles never had a problem getting one to idle
That's an awesome bike. Thanks for sharing
Hey what fuel ratio is best that I should use for one of these I have a 2 stroke
Why are your continually blipping the throtttle....set that idle
+Scott Thompson Ive done over 200 builds. These motors run rough. Especially when new
+HoustonMotorized Are you saying that idling a new engine is bad?
+HoustonMotorized I've done several and have gotten the engines to run perfectly from the beginning, though like you stated they vibrate alot more till break in.. cool rigs
+Scott Thompson Raising and lowering the needle in the carb will help with your idle as well, but when new/breakin period you need to make sure to not run too lean and actually better to be on the rich end of the cycle during the process ..
thanks for your videos they help me out a lot
I really like that bike!!
Dude, you need to make some fresh videos, I'd recommend starting with one of the new 4th gen 100(80cc) gas kits, I got the Zeus T-100, it is so awesome. I'd recommend as a daily, it has low end torque with an added 36t sprocket for your desired high end power. I've gone 40.9mph on the digital speedometer, I've only put around 130miles on the odo, runs like a champ!
Brilliant video!!
I love that Rat design! So cool!
very cool looking bike
when your done using it you leave the choke lever down?
If you pedal the bike you'll increase your fuel life and make the bike go even faster and prevents you from stalling uphills like decently steep longer hills the pedaling helps keep the rpms up and also helps warm your engine up faster💯💯
Would it work if I just put a kickstand on it and kick started it? You know, the kickstand on the board track racers?
Very helpful good video
another tip for "breaking in" your new 2 stroke bikes...
first, increase the oil to fuel mix by 10% of the ratio recommend by your engine's manufacturer, then follow these instructions...
start your bike and allow to run at idle for 10 minutes, shut down and let cool for 30+ minutes,
repeat this 4-5 more times.
start your bike, ride for 10 minutes @ 50% power, shut down and let cool for 30+ minutes,
start your bike, ride for 10 minutes @ 60%-70% power, shut down and let cool for 30+ minutes
start your bike, ride for 10 minutes @ 80%-90% power, shut down and let cool for 30+ minutes
empty your fuel tank, then make a new fuel/oil mix at the engine's recommended ratio
start your bike and go all out (no more than 30mph) for 20 minutes, back it off to 50%-70% for 10 minutes and let cool for 30 minutes
¥
if you intend on storing your bike for 60 days or more, remove the fuel from your tank, do NOT run it out of gas, fill your tank half way with high grade premium fuel, add a fuel stabilizer, but do NOT add oil to the fuel/stabilizer mix
when you got to get your bike out of storage, fill the rest of the tank with high grade premium fuel and add the requisite amount of oil to the mix, run your motor @ idle for 10 minutes, shut down for 30+ minutes, then enjoy
this along with reasonable maintenance about every 20-30 hours of operation and reasonable riding habits will give your bike a long life and many hours of operation and enjoyment !!!
Cool bike
do you ship engines ?? if yes will you ship it to india
Manni's workshop fukn foreigners lol u hav to 💘 them
Thank you
In one of your comments you stated that you been running/tuning these bikes since 1972. These motor kits been around that long? How have they changed design since 1972? Today's version better, worse, the same? Thanx. Is very interesting the history behind these little motors
I got my first motorbike in the 70s. A Yamaha Mini Enduro. So.. yes you got me.. However it has a motor and I did have to maintain it. That's where I cut my teeth on keeping a bike running
Is it just gonna die cause it isnt heated up ye?
do you know the right mixture of gas required for a 2 stroke bike like yours
40:1 from day one is perfect. 3.5oz per gallon. I used to go higher, but all my builds now run 40:1. Been riding that bike for 2 years and no probs
Danny Adamski i run 32:1 in mine
what sort of bike is that? looks like my jc whit but I'm not too knowledgeable about them
+Kevin Klemenz Pre-war Firestone Cruiser
mine wont rev freely like yours is it also runs very hot unless thats normal for thoes small motors. and mine also will not stay running with the choke lever up only down but revs very high. any sugesstions for fixing that
try lowering the idle your engine is probably running too fast on idle that would be my guess
throttle cable was stuck open
ahh well that explaines alot
Moto2stroke trails your supposed to run it with the choke lever down, and then if it is idiling high the. adjust the idle screw on the carb
One thing for sure i like about this bike unlike the one i just bought it starts and runs.And i regret buying one.
I just started my bike for the first time and I instantly took without giving it any gas. I kept braking but the bike was still going fast. Please help!
:)))
They are fun I have one good exercise to lol......
Am I able to come to a complete stop without the engine dying as long as I keep the clutch down and keep throttling?
It should idle without you having to use the throttle mine does
Thanks for getting right to the point
Glad to help
@@HughesMotorized I need some help with my bike. Can you put any 2-stroke oil mix inthebite understand is 6 ounces to a gallon
@@dreday3987 Oil / Gas mix ratios:
40:1 Ratio
equals
3.2 oz per gallon OR
95 ml per gallon
or 9.5 ml per a tenth of a gallon

For whatever reason, the clutch on my bike is stuck in the engaged position. So even if I push in the clutch lever, the clutch stays engaged. Any solutions to this problem? Thanks.
Get it to ypur nearest bike shop. Im pretty sure they will fix that
I just asked the same question and someone said it is probably the star nut on the clutch pack. I'm checking it out now and if it is I will post it. ✌ and safe riding to all of the bike/motorcycle people 👌
quick question how fas is it and how far will u ride it do u think it would get me to and from work its 15 miles away?i have little cash so i need to find something on the cheap
If you want to get 15 miles you would want a 4 stroke. 2 stroke engines need to be turned off and allowed to cool down after 20 to 30 minutes.
Drcool52 o ok so 30 mins top ty for the info.
no they do not? where did you read this about two stroke engines
Lee Dunlap Each tank is about 1.5 to 2.5 L. Each tank will last you about 30 miles, so You would have to pay about a dollar a day for gas
Bluze more like 150?
Helpful i been flooding mine i give it full throttle when letting out clutch.
Brand new motor clean very well tuned i new i was doing something dumb lol
Do your rear rim get lose?
I'll keep the rear hub cone bearings properly tightened up. But yes, if you don't watch that it'll be an issue.
my back wheel is frozen so what is the problem
either bearings, brake or dust cap I'd imagine
So it really won’t roll till you hold the clutch in?
And does it need fuel just to roll too?
Is there any places to work on motorized bicycles in the San Francisco Bay Area?
My house. Lol
+TR7 TRIUMPH where do you live?
Nick Paparesta Berkeley. Its not exactly an established place to work on motorized bikes, but if you want to bring some pot over, we could build some dope ass bikes.
I am in the process of rebuilding my bike with an 80cc motor and a tune pipe. :D
+TR7 TRIUMPH yoooo, send me a PM. I'll bring my 49cc and 🍁 down and we can work on shit together, I need to give it s good tune up and my apartment isn't an ideal place for it
Joshua Flowers we could probably work somethjing out sometime. I don't have a full toolset for my bikes right now cause its been a little while since i worked on em and I lost a bunch of tools :p.
i cant say it enough NEVER EVER DUMP THE CLUTCH
why not?
the parts are usually pretty cheap, and wear out easily, imaging someone putting a weight on your chest with their, not much, slowly, a 5lbs weight, now imagine that same person dropping that 5lb weight on your chest from 3 feet, dumping the clutch is like that, sudden shock causes damage and that damage builds up
Well then how the fuck else do you start it?
That's how they are started unless you buy the pull start after market part so I don't understand why that comment was made. Anyways have fun riding and be safe a follow the rules of the road. All so to all bike rider's USE YOUR HAND SIGNALING. That is so important as well as record your rides so it's not your word against another if you get cut off by rude drivers ✌
My new 49cc won't start...can't even get it to fire in the slightest. It's a hybrid w/100w front hub electric, and I've ridden it a lot with the electric drive, popping the clutch and it just won't go. I've used starting fuel spray so that should rule out the carb for the moment because it still did nothing and should at least fire. I tested the plug spark with a sparky and it seemed fine so unless that spark can look ok and still not be up to par, I'm at a loss, and I've worked on small engines all my life lol.
Any ideas? It's a cheap ebay kit but has great compression, so no good reason it shouldn't run. Anyone ever experienced a seemingly good spark, only to find replacing the coil solved the problem? That's all I can think of. Tried two carbs FWIW, so the chances of that being the issue are even more slim.
Magneto coils are notoriously bad on these guys. Cdi? Spark plug wires sometimes need checking too
Checked it again and now I'm getting no spark, which was good because I can now actually see their is a problem. If my testing it was correct, it was the CDI, so ordered this morning...we'll see. Fortunately they are cheap, even cheap enough to keep an extra of each on the bike. Thanks for your help.
Jack m is it working now?
Not yet, Moe. Irma has much of my mail on hold, but am hoping to get the parts any day now. Thanks for asking, and I'll let you know.
It's working now. a year or so ago, mine was the cheapest 49cc kit on ebay but after posting here, I ordered an 80cc from Amazon after finding out they were the same size (tight fit) and I could probably get away with calling it a 49cc for required registration if Fl. That and just tired of messing with th 49cc. Added a pull start to the new one (2 actually, the first didn't work at all) pulled it up into my lap on the floor before mounting it and it started second pull. Installed and runs great.
The price difference is probably due to them having come down in price in the last year and the less expensive one, as well as actually running, had a much nicer looking head on it. Just under $90 total for the better kit that came with a few other extras as well and got it pretty fast.
Not all, but in many cases, when one buys the cheapest of anything on ebay, it's because it has known/undisclosed defects of some type or another. For this, it was at least a failing CDI. I think I can get the 49cc running eventually, but think the 80/66cc was a better choice. can't wait to go get groceries tomorrow so I can get used to it. and really try it out.
top speed now hahaha
Cool moped I wanna build a moped too because my motorcycle broke
Can the bike still be used without the engine on or is that bad?
Steel Eagle you can use it like a normal bike if the clutch is in and it is fine for you engine
i just got a 2 stoke having trouble getting it going. so im suppose to pedal let go of clutch keep pedaling while twisting the throttle alittle
+Sarah Navarro are you engaging the choke?
+Scott Thompson i ended up getting it going but the guy i bought it off me told me my choke is Japanese so it goes up...but it works facing down.
Usefull video now it won’t take me a hour to figure that out
I fucking like the old look it's a classico
I put the engine on and my bike won't pedal
Clutch could be stuck or issue when you put rag joint on. I have vids on both issues
Say you dont want to use the engine at all you can just use it as a regular bike right, or will that mess up the engine
Bro set the carburettor with a flathead screwdriver so it wont die when you release throttle.
New motors don't idle smooth. Just helping the noobs
My fat ass is too heavy. I need to practice more I guess. The bike motor starts fast, easy but so powerful, I feel like I will either rip the cutch or burn it up.
for heavier loads, I usually recommend 4 stroke engines, but if you want to keep your 2 stroke, you're going to have to bust ass as fast as you can then let the clutch out slowly, you should be ok then
how do u stop
Use the brakes? If you mean how do you stop without the engine dying you just have to put the clutch in.
Cool but why did you use one of your crap bikes to demonstrate?
That's a fine specimen sir
