50cc

My 50 drx has a new motor and makes it a half lap the dies for a couple of seconds, not stalling, but power comes way off then its starts going again. I have changed everything from fuel filter,carb,stator,rotor,coil and ck'd crank seals. Any suggestions?

[humboldt hills]

Sounds like jetting, but you have changed the carb.
Is it running hot?

[Andyman17dad]

it does the exact same thing with 2 different carbs.

Gary, how about something up in the kill switch or a ground or something, you still have all the kill switches hooked up, right?

[jetmedic]

Yup, I'm going to eliminate everything today. No more elec start or anything. I will take another ign sys I have with just a kill switch on it and see how it works.

check vent in gas cap , sounds like it may not be venting , therefore causing fuel system to create a vacuum effect and begin starving the engine for fuel . I have seen this before.

This happened to us on our first DRR but it would completely shut off and wouldn't start for about 5 minutes.

[jetmedic]

I will try it. let you know

[jetmedic]

not the tank vent. head temp 250 @ spark plug when it dies.

I had a CDI box with one wire that was lose and when we got to high rpm it would do the same thing break down and when ya got slowed down pick back up probly not the same but that was my prob. I met you this weekend at mx 207 your boy flies on that 70. Hes a good rider .

[airtime821]

you know i was having almost the same problem and it turned out to be one of the wires in the harness coming off the key switch came loose in all i have had three of the wires do this i dont know if they had a bad run of the switches but its worth a check.

[jetmedic]

Thanks for the replies fellas. I am still trying.

Riddle me this Batman, When I was assembling engine I notice the piston could not be inserted thru the top of the cyl. I know this is not the way to assemble but all the engines I have put together I have been able to at least rest the piston in the cyl through the top when its on the work bench. Are these cyl's tapered? Brand new from DRR.

[hotquads1]

any sign of scuffing on the cyl wall? beginning to seize? did you take off an OKO and replace with an OKO , when you did the carb swap? still sounds lean, how does plug look?

[markvette]

now that you mentioned that it sounds like the motor is seizing when it gets hot. i would pull the cylinder and check it out.

[Nichols Atvs]

Well Robin what did ya find out ? Poor cyl ?

[jetmedic]

Runnning good now.

[hotquads1]

let us know what fixed it , I'm curious.
marc

[jetmedic]

Cant really pinpoint what fixed it. I removed the new drr pipe)the one that come s on the 90 and just kept riding. Maybe it just needed a good break in.
