Power Loss - PocketBikeForum.com

[SSR]Hoskins · 07-04-2007, 02:39 PM

Hi guys this is my first real post here so bare with me as im new to all of this. The bike i assume is what you guys call a CAG and was purchased on ebay, Its only been used 3 or 4 times since i purchased about 2 weeks ago. The problem im having is power loss not all the time but ever so often after say 10 minutes use when you throttle it it bogs and sometimes cuts out. When you restart it ,it runs fine again for a while and ends up doing the same thing. The fuel mixture is 30:1 as recommended by the manual for running it in and i was wondering if this is normal because its still using this heavy mixture and still not properly run in. Any insight would be appreciated.

Hey, i have exactly the same problem rite now. Its happening to My C1 liquid cooled pocket bike. I think its probably the carburator thats what ive heard, its probably flooded with oil. Anywho even though this happens to me, i still didnt fix it but i still manage to ride my bike no problem, and i dont really know if it is the carb but mechanic showed me a way to start it.

i have no trouble starting it ,usually first or second pull and it goes.

yeah, but its jus the stalling rite? like once it has been started it stalls if you stop throttling ?

[SSR]Hoskins · 07-04-2007, 05:18 PM

what color is the plug friend?the part of the spark plug that goes into the head

looks a little dark to me, also noticed a small amount of oil around the outside of the plug as well and seems it wasn't very tight before i took it out. I have a spare one here but also have a few NGK B7HS on order. I'll clean it up and pop in that spare and see what happens. When i get the NGK i'll put one of those in with a 50:1 mixture.Seems logical though....not enough spark.

the gap between the coil and flywheel should be as thin as a business card . you can even use that as a tool when adjusting . Me i would also say check your carb , not only dirt clogs , but pieces of plastic , from drilling the fuel tank hole , get in there after a few runs and clog s*** up . And get a good plug!

yeah i'll take a look at it... will those NGK plugs be suitable?

could also be your jet,if it bogs at high throttle or if you can let off the throttle some and it picks up speed,you need to change the jet or re position your fuel needle leaner
