The wheel can spin a little AS LONG AS WHEN YOU are on it, IT DOES NOT BOG the motor down WHEN AT IDLE OR WANTS to move on you without having to have the BRAKE ON.
That is what I suspected on the cable someone ordered the wrong length cable and just used it.
Very cool my man. Leave it alone and give it a shot and see how it acts when you are riding it.

I'm going to hold off putting it all back together until the new cable comes in the mail. Will update then. Thanks so much for all your help!

Good job Bille, and through all this I am sure you learned some things and you did it yourself and saved yourself some bucks.
Let us know how it goes once you take it out for a ride.

Alleyoop I learned a ton of stuff!! Thank you so much! My new throttle cable will be here today. I will get it installed and get the bike back together for a test drive and report back here. I passed the tests to get my motorcycle license this weekend, which is a requirement to drive one of these in my state so I'm happy to get it running! |

Sorry for the delay, it's been raining so I haven't been able to take a test ride yet. Also, for some reason the seat won't lock anymore, so I've been playing with that.

I gave up on the seat and took it for a ride. It started right up, and drove fine, but stalled when I stopped at the first stop sign. After stalling it started right back up and drove fine again. At the second stop sign, which was about 3 mins later, it stalled again, but this time it took a minute or two to get it started again. After that I drove it straight home without anymore problem, but also without anymore stop signs

I turned the idle screw clockwise an 1/8 of a turn and took it for another ride. Same thing, except this time it stalled and wouldn't start up. Actually it would start, but then stall right away. I ended up having to walk it home.

Problems with starting after you turned the idle screw is because now the butterfly is to open turn it back the 1/8. So it stops only when you come to a stop ONLY after the motor is nice and hot is that it? Have you adjusted the Valves?
Dieing after the motor gets hot when coming to stops is a classic case of the valves need to be adjusted.
Turn the IDLE SCREW 1/8 back and turn the Fuel Mixture Screw Counter Clockwise 1/4 turn and see if that helps.

Here is what I just did....I started it up, which it did, after warming up it idled around 1650-1750. So, I turned the mixture screw 1/8 of turn clockwise. The rpm went up after 10 seconds, so I continued this, turning clockwise for at least 3 more times. At around 1850-1890 rpm I topped out. So next I went to the idle screw and turned it down to about 1300-1400 rpm.
Took it for a ride and it hesitates when I give it throttle, than it stalled. Started back up, rode it home, still hesitates but made it back. Idled fine (seemed too) when I parked it.

Ok, it may be just a little lean now turn the Fuel Mixture Counter Clockwise 1/4 turn and then try it, take your screw driver with you, If it still hesitates turn it Counter Clockwise 1/4 etc.. Also see if you can get it to Idle close to 1500rpms. This motors do not like to idle low.

Ok will try now, but at 1500 the back wheel spins pretty fast.

Bummer!! Well then leave it where the IDLE IS SET and just 1/4 Turn at a time on the Fuel Mixture to take the hesitation out.
But somthing is not right in the CVT if the wheel is spinning at those low rpms.

Do you have a VIDEO of a straight shot of the CVT with the COVER off and idleing to see the clutch and variator and belt all at once a shot of it idling from the side.
Alleyoop
Here is a good Video of how it should look and work:

I might have to double check the valves again tonight, I think that's the stalling after warming up. If I remember, the top one needs to be at .003 and the bottom .005? Or should I do both at .003?
