What type of engine and what CC

Im very new to this, so when some parts fell during a mistake, I didn’t even know there was supposed to be a ball bearing in the clutch. After 10 minutes on my hands and knees with a flashlight, I found it, and everything’s the way it ought to be! Thanks a ton!

This guy is a master teacher, on clutches anyway. My first motorized bike, my first video. Thumbs up, bro!!!

My good man, You Rock. Glad you are safe. These times make this hobby so important because it takes our minds off it for a bit as we take flight on our creations. Great video, super helpful. You take the worry out of tinkering and getting in there and fixing the issues. I ride a big V Twin but I cant stop laughing when i am out on my MoBi. Be well and keep up the great work.

Wrecked my creation a couple days ago and I've had nothing but trouble ever-since. Clutch, chain & wheels have been wonky since the accident Wheels were taco'ed beyond repair so replacement mags are on order. Chain keeps breaking and you just showed me how to fix the clutch. So thanks a lot. I'll be keeping an eye out for you, from now on.

You are the Master! I'm a real nube when it comes to clutches, I can do plenty of other troubleshooting, but this is new ground for me. I tried starting my engine as soon as it was all assembled, thankfully your many faceted and terrific instruction shed light on the issue! The factory assemblywas too tight and I could not disengage enough to get up to speed enough to start the engine or even check the spark. Now all is well! I really enjoyed your video presentation and I am now a better 2 stroke hobby mechanic and can take care of another issue using your hard earned knowledge. I will promote your channel and watch more!

It's not about the clutch but I do have a question. I've just started on bicycle engines. For some reason when I start the engine it will run for about a second maybe two but then always stops. Everything is brand new except the engine itself. New carb, new lines, new spark but everything I've tried hasn't worked. What am I missing?

Thank you so much for this video!! I really do appreciate how much detail you go into all your videos, they have helped me out a lot.

Thank you for explaining how the clutch works. Makes more sense now I thought it was more complex. It’s pretty simple.

By far Hughes the best instructor I've seen

how would you say you could prevent your clutch bar from tearing up.( a nice chunk of the ledge of the arm on my motor must of cracked off on a ride made its way inside where the bucking bar sits and got ground up by the rotation causing me to randomly lose my clutch) would like to prevent this as you could imagine . brand new engine fresh out of break in cant really imagine what would cause this other then heat weakening the metal coupled with vibration or something being loose somewhere els in the engine ... all info is appreciated

On my son's bike, the clutch releases ok and the wheel turns freely with the clutch handle pulled, but when you let off the clutch, the wheel continues to turn (stiffer, as it would if the clutch was only partly on, but not stiff enough to turn the motor over to start it). The clutch is fully off, as it does the same thing when the clutch cable is disconnected. Do I need to adjust the preload spring to fix this?

Hello I got a question I was riding my 2 stroke motorized bike around block for 50mins and it died on me and gas were leaking crazy from carburator. And motor not working and won't start up anymore?? Need some help please. Thank you. And the motor is new still

I'm doing my first build. I haven't messed with bikes since I was a teen. 65 yo now. Problem I've encountered is an incredibly stiff pull on the hand controls to release the clutch. I've got a firm handshake too. I've seen times I had to pull hard on the handle then reach down and pull another quarter inch or so on the clutch arm for the wheel to roll freely. I'm not sure how to properly reduce the pressure required. After watching this clip (thank you) I think I can accomplish this by turning the flower nut a notch or few. Clockwise or counter not sure at the moment. Dabs of axle grease here and there advisable I know. Please advise. Thanks. It's the Bikeberry 48cc BBR Tuning. Going on a Switz Cruz. Looks pretty cool.

You do not want tight bends in clutch cable. That will cause clutch to be hard to operate. Nice, slow open bends so don't tie wrap cable to make it look all neat and tidy

So I’m having issues with my clutch cable arm hitting my down tube. I know the arm shouldn’t be going near it but I can’t for the life of me get the arm parallel with the engine when engaged. I’ve replaced both the camshaft rod and clutch cable arm and had to assemble them myself. Did I possibly fuck up the assembly and get the angle of the camshaft rod wrong or could it be related to the preload in the jackshaft? Maybe the bucking bar is worn out? Help please!
