Have a knockoff 50, actually its a 72cc. Ran fine then died while being ridden. Wouldn't restart by kicking.

It WILL START by push starting while in gear... but it will not idle.

Has new plug and carb has been cleaned.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Brett

 

adjust the carb, check the idle screw and the fuel/air mixture screw as well. thats probably the problem

 

make sure you got gas

 

prolly carb

 

has a full, fresh tank of gas. carb was just cleaned like stated. setting are idle - 3ish air/fuel -1 1/2ish.

Any other ideas?

 

turn the key next time.

or check your fork fluid.

 

is the motor beat down? sometimes motors low on compression will act like that but these little bastards are tuff... check all the gaskets from carb to intake and intake to head... adn re-clean the carb then adjust the idle screw and mixture screw.. if that doesn't do it you might want to pull a compression test

 

My friend has a Chonda that's 72cc, prolly the same one you have. check the wiring where everything comes together above the motor, we found that they just kinda twisted the wires and taped 'em up. also it could be the stator, we had a different guys chonda just lose the stator one day in the middle of riding. sometimes it would start and run like ****, but then one day it just stopped starting. We put a new stator in and it ran like a champ.

 

I had one do that ... it was low compession, new rings and it ran like a champ...
