FancyPants Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Hello friends, Sadly I have unknown problems with 2 of my bikes. I'll briefly try to describe it the best i can, they seem to have sort of similair problems. Little backstory , the hardknock has 700 km on it. Last week i had to lay it down to prevent hitting a car, was basically stopped when i dropped it.Kikker Hardknock 3 (50cc), it idles fine , starts up on first kick, however if i drive of it stutter after picking up a bit of speed/ on higher reffs, however it doesnt stall out , it just doesnt deliver more power and starts stuttering more and more. It has a semi-automatic gearbox (exactly the same motor as a Honda dax or pbr) , which i also feel is having some trouble inbetween gear shifts, as it takes more force then before to actually get it in gear. Finally it makes a buzzing/ grinding/ spinning type sound , that wasn't there before. Before the ''accident'' i took apart the carb and gave it a good clearning.If any information is missing , please tell me. Skyteam Urban (50cc), ( effectively a chinese Honda Grom), it goes fine for a bit, but after a time it starts sputtering and loses power completly. It' ll stop and not start again for some time. Ive cleaned the carb. Similair to the hardknock but doesnt keep power , it just loses it completely and dies out if i try to give it more gas when sputtering. If I missed anything then please ask,All help is welcome. Thank you in advance Quote
Tango Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 I don't know either bike.......but the first one, you need to have a look around and make sure nothing got bent during the drop.Second one sounds like fuel starvation.......could be a blocked fuel tank breather....... Quote
FancyPants Posted January 20, 2016 Author Posted January 20, 2016 Aren't that many hardknock's around yeah , its basically a bobber with an old Honda ss50 or Dax type engine in it. Yeah, completely checked the bike , no external damage on either engine covers , neither on the tank or any bent or snapped fuel lines or such. Yeah thats what i was leaning towards too, i just put some valve cleaner solution in it. Seems to run a bit smoother now. But still having the stutter at higher speeds.Kinda stuck on what i should do about it though , got any suggestions on the next step? Thanks for the input btw, greatly appreciate it. Quote
Tango Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Is the gear lever or linkage damaged or bent?With other one, try giving it a run without the filler cap on......just to see if the tank breather is blocked. Quote
