    One slight issue, the cover shown is for the magneto. The clutch cover is on the right hand side of the motor. Other than that, very infomative.

    There’s one thing you can do to greatly help in the maintenance of your tires. Cut a flat piece of vinyl siding up into strips and place between your tires and tubes. You’ll have to use something like a heat gun to soften it up enough so you can Incert them. It’s a great DIY project for protection against blowouts. Most Walmarts sell something similar to this in the bike department. Borrow a heat gun and get some scrap vinyl siding and do it for free.

    sorry for this bikeberry but to the cheap people you can go to a car parts store and buy a gasket sheet that you can just make your own gaskets. for cheaper and less time.
    again sorry bike berry i just wanted to share this since i've done it before. because a gasket for me is $1.99 for just 1 and that's not including shipping.

    1. After cleaning the air filter spray some filter oil on the element. This aids in catching dirt and preventing water from entering.
    2. Use Chapstick on the clutch gasket face. This will help prevent the gasket from sticking if the cover needs removing.
    3. See #2 for the intake gasket
    4. Apply a thin coat of copper RTV to both sides of the exhaust gasket. It will carbonize when heat hits it and aid in sealing the exhaust, lengthen life of gasket, and allow for easy removal later
    5. Apply a small dab of copper seize on spark plug threads.
    6. Use CV joint grease on the clutch gear (small gear) Then turn clutch to spread evenly. CV grease is best as it contains high amount of molybdenum.
    7. Always use fuel line clamps on all connections.

    2: Sometimes, everything will be running great and all of a sudden it starts revving really high and turns off (usually when i am driving not really fast but maybe 1/2 trottle), then it doesn't start, or starts and revs high again and turns off. Then some days it doesn't do that at all and everything is fine... any ideas?

      Mystic and Valvoline both have great options. Look for a grease that's NLG #2. Synthetic grease is not necessary, but it is more versatile, working in many different conditions and lasts a long time.

    OK. I've watched a LOT of build and maintenance videos. I have to ask. Why does nobody remove enough links to have a proper chain tension? Every build video shows the builder breaking the chain to remove some links, then leaves 6 inches of floppy deflection to correct with the tensioner. In this video, if the builder had removed one, maybe two, more links, they would probably not even need to use the chain tensioner, as the engine mounts give you about half an inch of rotational adjustment, with a little hammer massaging of the mount plates.

      Chains are a universal size and rarely fit the same for every bike, let alone every motor; making it almost impossible to perfectly fit, even when taking the correct number of links out. There are half links, but they are not as available as full links and do not always work as intended, especially if there is limited clearance from the chain and the frame or other parts, and still do not guarantee a perfect fit. Adjusting the mounting plates is a viable option , but is far from precise and will likely cause too much tension on the chain and drive componants. Having a designated chain tensioner takes up the extra slack with more precision, makes installing and uninstalling parts more convenient, and is a safer and more reliable method.

    • @samurphy
      @samurphy 6 лет назад +1

      All of that is true, but in this setup, at least one more link could have been removed and you'd only need the tensioner to keep proper chain alignment and tension, not to take up 4 inches of deflection.

    • @bikeberry
      @bikeberry  6 лет назад

      That is probably true, as a single link can make a large difference. It can be the case that this specific build was just short of being able to remove another link, causing all that extra slack. We definitely agree that the proper amount of links should be taken off to reduce the unwanted slack, and to allow for a more efficient drive system.

    i've been able to start and use my bike but not consistently...do you or anyone know of a case of the fuel filter not letting enough fuel to the carburator? i think my engine may not be getting enough fuel

    • @bikeberry
      @bikeberry  9 лет назад

      MrJabber22 What sound is it making? You may have to adjust your idle screw & jet pin on your carb. If it's not getting enough fuel, you may need to set the clip on the jet pin on a lower setting so that more fuel can be introduce to the fuel - air ratio

    • @MrJabber22
      @MrJabber22 9 лет назад

      okay which part is the jet pin exactly and which way should i adjust the idle screw

      by jet pin do you mean the side needle and c clip as shown on your tuning the carb video? and which way should i turn the idle screw

    • @bikeberry
      @bikeberry  9 лет назад +1

      Yeah that's the jet pin & clip! Turn the idle screw in a little bit more if you feel like your idle RPM is not strong enough.

    • @alexhickey5633
      @alexhickey5633 6 лет назад +3

      ArcadeTH heres a simpler version: tighten all nuts bolts screws and that stuff. Check the sparkplug every so often. Take off the clutch cover and put only small amounts of grease on the gears. Too much grease will always lead to it getting into the clutch and making it slip like crazy. Clean your airfilter every 100 miles. Cleaning the carbon from the exhaust is optional. Gaskets dont tend to blow too often. Tension the chain so it can move freely but still have a bit of resistance when you push down on it. Adjust your idle to where the engine can run slowest without stalling. Check your tyre pressure every ride if you only ride it a few times a week. If its every day, check the pressure every day. Use 25:1 during break in and anything from 25:1 and 40:1 after break in. Hope this helps

    • @burnt_toast305
      @burnt_toast305 5 лет назад

      @@rustymillington9646 16:1 which is 8oz of cheap 2 stroke oil for one gallon of 93 octane ethanol free gas. Let the bike idle for 5 minutes , ride it at 15-20mph for 20 minutes and then let the engine cool for 3 hours. Don't use gasoline that contains more than 10% ethanol because you can seized the motor up. After break in, use 32:1 which is 4oz of vp small engine fuel full synthetic 2 stroke oil for one gallon of 93 octane ethanol free gas. I highly recommend that you use high quality sythenthic 2 stroke oil that is made for air cooled 2 stroke engines or use a high quality motorcycle oil if you like. Don't use tcw3 2 stroke oil which is made for water cooled 2 stroke boats and do not use 4 stroke oil. Hope it helps
