No tach so I dont have an idea on rpm. I called the dealer and they said they will look at it with a boroscope (?) And let me know what kinda problem there may be. He was sure to point out it was out of warranty period but ill wait for their diagnosis before I freak out!

I went home on lunch to start the tare down, and came across an unfortunate situation, I unplugged the spark plug wire and ran starter to see if any change in sound. I got the same starter sound telling me the plug isnt firing. I pulled the spark plug and it is destroyed on the gap and ground. It appears it was smashed over and over until it broke. Im sure that tells you guys something! Try and let me down gently as I know this is a big issue now...

Thanks for the quick responses guys, ill take a look at all the things you guys mentioned tonite after work. It is unfortunately out of warranty, otherwise I woulda called the dealer while I was still on the side of the road! Any additional insight is appreciated  |

Hello, im new to the forum and am in desperate need of assistance. I have a 2012 gorilla motor works 150cc chineses gy6. I bought it new last year and only issue ive had was a bad fuel pump. I get a good 55mph out of it so I often take it on the interstate when I need to get across town. Saturday, while cruizing at full speed down the interstate, I lost all motor power. Electrical was still working. I wear a helmet when I ride and was kinda windy out so I cant say if there was a particular noise at power failure but it felt like I just unhooked the fuel line or something to that effect, just sudden stop. I pulled to the side and ran my electric start, it spins but no ctch at all. I had a buddy pick me up and take it home. I tried spinning the kick start and there is very little resistance but no grinding noise or anything like that. I know my description is fairly vauge but it literraly just stopped on me at full speed. Any suvgestions for a newbie with average mechanical skills/tools or should I just call the shop I bought it from and have em take a look at it? Thanks for any insight you can provide.
