new bike wont start - PocketBikeForum.com

xracer7 · 03-24-2007, 12:52 PM

I just bought a new bike from pocketrocketwholesale.com and its an x-7 and i had it running for two days. I went to start it one day and it had a rough time idling and then would die when i would take off. Now it wont even start on me. replaced spark plug, cleaned around carb, charged battery, and still nothing. It has spark and is getting fuel. Any advice would be GREATLY appriciated. I wanna ride! THANKS

is your choke working properly? i own an x7 and mine runs great getting ready to put an 82cc upgrade on it.

ya its getting gas, its got spark, i just found today though there is oil leaking from the exaust manifold and dont know wats wrong. im new to this so i have no idea really. someone also said compression might be wrong but dont know how to check

is your x7 a 2 stroke or a 4 stroke?

xracer7 · 03-25-2007, 07:13 PM

its a 2-stroke 49cc

you may have mixed the gas and oil wrong. if so you need to rebuild the engine or buy a new one.

i used one of those jugs that it comes with. i went ahead and bought a new engine on ebay anyways..wat do u recommend on doing with the mixture for this one? and on how to mix it

start with a 32 to 1 ratio. otherwise 3oz. oil per 1 gallon/3.8 litre gas/petrol.

vampyre · 04-01-2007, 02:33 PM

make sure it is for the 2 cycle engines only . oil is the same for lawnmowers.
