Thats interesting I just assumed it should be inline with the bikes rear wheel?It needs to be forward of the rear wheel . On full size I used 10 " lead so you could scale that down a bit . Trial and error. Much more fun than solo.
£50 do you realise how tight I am, I would never live it down if I spent £50Suzuki LT50 wheels and tyres are that size. Second hand are cheap as new Chinese knock offs are coming in at about £50 a pair, inc tyres.
Heads were tougher then, crash helmets for wimps!I didn't build this one but thought it might inspire you. Passenger is youngest daughter taken 30 years ago.

No excuse I'm afraid .Heads were tougher then, crash helmets for wimps!
Does it change from 4 stroking to 8+ stroking in which case it's too rich or does it just cut out in which case it's too weak.Now I had a spare hour yesterday so stuck a new chinese carb and air filter on the Locin engine, it starts no problem and revs but under load it just wont go?
Any top tips
I dont think so but will check again.Will it run better on part choke ? You might need a bit bigger main.
Starts and runs fine if you lift the back end up its fines revs and spins wheel, but once one of the fat lads jumps on it just has no go in it?Does it change from 4 stroking to 8+ stroking in which case it's too rich or does it just cut out in which case it's too weak.
Does it immediately play up when under load or run for a few seconds before playing up as in cutting out. If the latter it " might " be the float valve jet not being big enough and running the float bowl low or dry.
Can you " coax " it to pull through. If so it might be the slide cutaway.
All just guess work.
Thanks BobA few basic checks wouldnt go amiss before you throw spanners at it. First would be fuel supply/delivery, worth pulling the pipe off the carb and observe fuel flow at the end of the pipe. There is a filter in some of those tanks, also worth checking tank vent. Also worth looking at is the governor, check its pulling the throttle wide open under load. Thats it from my armchair
Bob
How do I check the governor?
I keep having thoughts about the bigger engine and a side car Do I need help!
