Hi every one I am new to the forum I just got my bike today and I put it together nicely and all, but I am having difficulty with getting it running properly I am not good at naming parts and all, but I will try my best any help is greatly appreciated well onto some pics.

first of all I don't know where this hose is supposed to be connected to..every time I turn on the little gas switch it just leaks.



second I noticed that there was alot of gas coming out of the filter and I took it off. I noticed there was alot of gas coming out of the carb I don't know why this is please enlighten me I will appreciate it greatly.



and last but not least the idles I don't know if they are preset or do I need to turn them to get them to the right spot and how many turns and wich way, again I don't know this stuff and Im sure there are some good people out there that are willing to share their knowledge.



heres the bike by the way.


thanks every one in advance.

that hose i\s your fuel inlet line, that needs to connect to your fuel valve on the tank

to set the idle just start it and make small adjustments (in or out) till you like the way the bike is running then rev it a little and if its still good then your done on the carb the needle might be stuck or the float is set wrong try playing with it or riding for a while with the gas barely turned on and see if it un-sticks

That hose is an overflow. If gas is comming out of it you might have a problem with your floats. The screw with the spring on it is your idle. The other one is either a fuel or an air screw. Im thinking its a fuel screw though.

well there is another hose coming from the bottom of the carb that one just hangs as well, and why is gas just coming out of the hole where the filter goes when I turn "on" the little gas thingy under the tank.? thanks every one.

Antebios

Your float is stuck or setup incorrectly.

82benz

well she runs fine now, starts at the first kick, but every time I run it I have to set the little gas flow thingy under the tank halfway between of and on if I leave it "on" when the bike is off it will leak like crazy.? if the float were to be stuck the bike wouldn't start right?

matty88

it will still run with the float stuck as long as its stuck down not up the float is on the bottom of your carb it gets pushed up by gas when its full and stops the gas coming into your card then as you use it it opens allowing more gas in yours is just stuk down take your carb off and take the 4 scures out of the bottom and the bole off and u will see that i mean

82benz

I will have to do that tomorrow. I am still wondering where that one hose goes to, I sealed it and the bike still runs fine. any one recommend any mods for a beginner.

matty88

its just the over flow hose just bring is back away form the pipe and tuk is down the side for the motor and it will be fine

82benz

thanks bro. I have other questions if you don't mind me asking.
How often does the oil have to be changed.
How can I go about installing an oil cooler or is there even a need for one
what is the best oil to use.

matty88

i ushaly just check mine after every ride and see if it black or not. i use motul or bell ray i use 20 40 or 20 50 in the hot summner and 10 30 when its not that hot. as for a oil cooler it kina depends how long u ride it if it get piping hot or not. ps i dont rilly think it matters that much on what kind of oil as long as it motorcycle oil some of the cheaper oils just need to b e chaged more offten

82benz

thank you for the info man i really appreciate it and I need all the help I can get. I don't want this thing to take a crap on me after a few times of use.
I want to do some upgrades to it what would be somethings to start with?

82benz

bump back from the dead I am sorry. (didn't wanna make another thread)
well I have been riding this bike not to hard core because I want her to last me a little while. well I was riding last weekend and the tensioner* or that little roller that tightens the chain fell off and I was wondering if there is a better one I can buy or anything I can do so it wont wear down on the swing arm. That is the main thing I cant ride with out that...

on to the second part. I was wondering what simple mods I can do to this to start out what are some good websites to buy some go fast goodies.? I know this has been asked a million times, but I would appreciate it if some one pointed me in the right path...
thanks in advance every one I'll will need all the help I can get thank you.

82benz

bump...come on guys I know there is some one there that can help me just throw on a couple of links and I'll be on my way...point me in the right direction please.

Pic of chain tensioner area? Type/size of engine?

lol on the fuel, is the drain screw on the very bottom screwed in all the way? if it is open, fuel drains out.

eddy2324

i'd put a "uni" air filter on it. that will add a little bit. also a platinum plug wouldn't hurt. you have urself a pretty cheaply made pitbike. i don't mean anything by that (i had one for a year like urs and it was sweet to ride) so ur gonna have a lot of things break or not work properly. i ended up ditching it and buying an ogm. best decision i made.

82benz

Thanks for the help guys and, yeah this one is a cheap one, but its fine for now hopefully next year I can buy a nicer one. well here is the next problem the chain tensioner tightener thingy fell off haha go figure. where can I buy one I have seen them on ebay but they say for crf50 not sure if that one is smaller than the one i need its the spring action one. I was wondering if there is a way to fabricate a better one.? ...on to the pics.




Thank every one I really appreciate all the help that I can get. I am really trying to learn so when I get a good one I won't be so clueless.

what kind of a bike is that?
