Mmmm... cheddar popcorn.

I've loaded many dead bikes into Dodge Caravans over the years; I know what a struggle that can be. Now, I use a bike hauler on the Class III receiver, which just requires a couple of tie-downs. much easier.

Great job, guys!

Okay, it's 100% put together...

Its not being as easy to start as i had hoped, Right away i tried the electric start, did it to much, and now it the electric start isnt working. it did sound like it could have started with it, if i had done it properly rather than just holding it.

Now im trying to kick start it. Very tiring, Going to keep trying, I hope i can get it!

TheGammaGhost · 08-20-2012, 04:07 PM

Can't seem to get it kick started, im trickle charging my battery right now to see if i can get it to that way.

Any tips?

Did you start it before the transplant? In it's orginal frame?

I did not, wish i would have. they did state the engine was fine though.

On the 3 cords that go from the engine to the bike, They all fit, but i did notice, the smaller plug, on the female end on my roketa, only had one pin, where as the lifan frame/body had more.

not sure if that could be it, i doubt it, it seems good, Maybe the spark plug? it says NGK on it.

1st things first.

Are you getting spark and fuel?

TheGammaGhost · 08-20-2012, 04:15 PM

How do i know if im getting spark? and i did hook the fuel up, and turned it on.

TheGammaGhost · 08-20-2012, 04:32 PM

Ahhhg, i dont know what to do!!!

FastDoc · 08-20-2012, 04:33 PM

Remove the plug from motor. Leave the cap/wire on. Rest base of plug on clean bare ground on chassis or engine. The head will do. Dim lights if possible and crank engine. A bright blue snappy spark should appear in the plug gap. Please test and report back.

TheGammaGhost · 08-20-2012, 04:36 PM

ok

TheGammaGhost · 08-20-2012, 04:41 PM

okay, tried both plugs, No spark.

FastDoc · 08-20-2012, 04:55 PM

There's your problem. Check CDI connections. Make sure kill switch is not stuck on or grounded. Check spark plug lead and connection to the cap.

TheGammaGhost · 08-20-2012, 04:57 PM

okay, ill go check it out right now. will report back shortly.

TheGammaGhost · 08-20-2012, 05:09 PM

CDI is all plugged in. How do i know if my killswitch is grounded or not?
