Nope, if your motor was seized then it wouldn't start. You also would have one hell of a hard time trying to start it.

Sounds like you got too much oil in with the fuel. Do you have oil discharge at the end of your pipe? If so, too much oil.

Other possibilities are problems with the carb and the needle. The carb probably needs to come off and be cleaned (it's a good idea to do this at least once a year anyways).

Reeds shouldn't have kinks, that's bad. Replace it too.

admin man... I think you were right.... I drained the tank put new gas in now she'll start and run.... but really slow... but thats ok she's going... I thought I mixed it right.... I put pure gas in to see if it would go it did then I put the oil in... its nice have 2 rideable bikes again

ACK! don't run straight gas!

Go to a pharmacy and get a measuring cup for liquid meds (they usually give em away for free). Then use the chart at http://www.pocketbikeforum.com/artic...re-ratios.html to determine your fuel/oil mixture ratio.

This is one really common mistake that riders make. They guess at the mixture levels and when it's wrong, 99.9% of the time there is too much. With too much oil there is no combustion, therefore no power and no go.

The oil in the mixture is not for burning (although it does burn), it is used for lubrication.

aww gee... I thought it would have been ok... I had oild coming out of every where... I have a foam air filter and there was even oil on it

It may have been ok if the motor only ran for about a tenth of a second, but I doubt that was the case.

frikin_bike! · 03-13-2006, 11:59 AM

well the good thing is I didn't hurt anything... that I notice anyway.. she's still running.... but I kind of wish I did though... it would have been a good reason for the wife to let me get a new engine for it... I tell this to everyone and I'm going to say it again... I can run faster then that bike
