How To Fix Stuck - Rear Wheel Won't Turn On to A Motorized Bicycle

[@jeffhench3198]

Hey man I literally would have gave up on my bike a long time ago if it weren’t for you, every problem I have I know you’ll have a video on it! Thankyou

Great to hear!

Brand new 2 day old 100cc bike engine..still.having trouble don't know how to idle......... Thanks man.

[@johnfredette7420]

Thanks for making this video. I had the problem where the chain was jammed in side the motor. I was able to get the chain unjammed with just my fingers. If it wasn't for you I'd probably have to bring my bike to the repair shop!

[@briangibbs932]

Thank you.i gave up on my bike and I just found your video today after watching over 30 vids.thank you for explaining every detail.

[@larryarnold8187]

Love your down to earth explaining how to do things and what to look for.that even us dummies can understand.keep up the good work!!

[@robertomontenegro6811]

Hello Hughes, my 50cc engine won’t start because it seems to have too much compression on the block. When I put the spark plug back on its place the engine becomes too heavy and not able to pedal the bike. When I take the spark plug out the engine runs nice and smooth by turning the back wheel around. What can I do?

[@jeffkaiser9]

My issue is my back wheel wouldn’t spin unless you hold the clutch in like it should. But now I can push my bike and both wheels will spin without holding the clutch in. The clutch is still working a little bit but not enough to start or anything. What should I do? Love your videos by the way

[@januaryblack2021]

did you get it figured out?

[@stephenfhauk]

I like that 2x4 trick and hammer, Never thought of that really cool and simple thanks for that tidbit. I'm sure in the future I will need it, Nice video.

[@bryduhbikeguy]

It helps to use a magnet on the Bucking Bar to pull the Ball Bearing out.I use Molybdenum grease on them,and without a magnet,the bearing doesn't come out.

[@SoullessScythe]

so helpful man, so much thanks for this video. my clutch wasnt releasing, this video answered all my questions

[@HughesMotorized]

Glad it helped!

[@thebrokeway9838]

Hey Boss the sprocket fits so well without the dust cap Sir can I just use the sProket as a dust cap or is there or will there be some unforeseen problems?? Thansk

[@acmeradioinc]

Thanks for your excellent helpful help and your willingness to help others my chain was too loose kept jamming at the sprocket fixed now

[@rafeisbest]

Thank you for this video I figured out why it was not working my ball bearing fell out

[@chapelbarnes6427]

Question, I was riding my bike fine for like 6 miles to the beach, then I slowed down, turned the bike off to go up a bridge, went to start it again and when I let the clutch out and the wheel locked up. I had to back up to free the wheel, then it had trouble starting again, then after a couple times of it starting it wouldn’t start again, and the chain keeps getting looser and looser and I have no idea why because the chain is still on the sprockets and everything. Now my main problem is getting it running, I have fuel, 30:1 ration, spark, compression, and the clutch is activating fine and disengaging fine, and the wheel still sometime locks up when I peddling. I have checked everything I know to check, I am extremely stumped and have had 3 guys come over to help to look at it. No idea. Any advice?

[@editz4196]

hey thank for this video but one question, will the rear tire not move just becuase u don’t have a ball bearing in it?

[@69weaversteven]

What if I still can't get it to engage wouldnit be something wrong internally with my clutch the tire seems to move fine and the chains spin bit the clutch still seems to be locked up?

[@januaryblack2021]

same. did you fix it?

[@damianroberts4330]

Thought i had a clutch problem, but I feel my answer is gunna be here.

[@cyberfox981]

Thanks for your work man. I have problem with my bike. Clutch working perfectly but when I engage cluch piston become stuck instead of cycling up and down. When I remove spark plug piston again can cycle but of course engine canot run =/ I have my motorised bike in use last 4 years without big problem before that, so all parts is orginal.

[@HughesMotorized]

might need a second base gasket to raise the head. If you are using a different spark plug might want to try another

[@cyberfox981]

@@HughesMotorized Thanks for your answer. All parts is the same including spark plug and working perfectly before this probllem start to happpen.

[@jamesfontenot6370]

My back tire barely moves when the clutch is engaged. It's pretty much stuck. It does move freely when I disengage the clutch. What do you think is my problem? Thanks.

[@giliethedeliveryman3516]

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video I’m trying to figure this out and there’s plenty of information you gave on this video that I will use

[@HughesMotorized]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ammaariboysyed7161]

Hey man thankyou for the video please try answering this question, is the problem tht I haven’t put oil and gas in it like if I just try to pedal without it in will tht stop it because no lubrication or is tht not a problem

[@HughesMotorized]

yes. you want some oil in there. just pedaling and not running isn't so good for it

[@jacksonbubela8690]

I took off the cover to my drive chain on my YD 100 but when I put it back on the clutch lever is stuck and is very stiff, I tried rebuilding it but it is still stuck

[@adamcolbertmusic]

I want to share my tips for reinstalling the brake arm. Firstly, on the OTHER side (bicycle drive side), I put two lug nuts on the axle and tighten them INTO each other. That is, get two wrenches, turn the top nut clockwise and the bottom nut counterclockwise. This way you can use vice grips to effectively grip the axle, put the wheel on your lap with the vice grips on the bottom, vice grips sandwiched between your thighs to keep the axle from rotating as you work with the brake arm cone nut or brake arm locking nut. I have a cheater pipe that fits perfectly into the brake arm, that sure is handy dandy. Before tightening the lock nut over the brake arm, I found out that I need to have the brake arm's cone nut juuuust a little looser than I would think, and maybe juuuuust a little looser than that even, because that locking nut pushes the cone nut in and effectively over tightens it. ALWAYS check that it's not too tight BEFORE putting the wheel back on!!! Thanks for all your great videos!

[@HughesMotorized]

great points thanks

[@IngenTechNational]

Whats up man can you do a video on jackshaft/shift kits please thanks!

[@Bull3tBikes]

No

[@integrationofmanandmachine4714]

no hard feelings but they are total trash lose 1 hp to gain 0.5hp nah im fine

[@HughesMotorized]

I'm not a fan. They rob power and run on a small chain and require a lot of maintenance & tuning

Hey Hughes I have an issue with my cheap 80cc China doll and when I give it throttle it bogs down badly and then stalls if I don’t pedal to help it. I’ve tried connecting the wires and swapping them around, new cdi and magneto and replaced the piston and rings but everything wasn’t making a difference. If it was making a difference it wasn’t much of a difference. Can you please help me.

[@HughesMotorized]

sounds like a carb issue. What elevation are you?

[@Ozzieseth]

@@HughesMotorized I’m at 35m above sealevel. Thanks I’ll try that at tell you how I get on.

[@michaelminor2722]

i dont have coaster breaks someone who installed my motor didnt do my rear sprocket very well and ive been replaceing the hardware with that i got not the wheel sometimes has a hard time turning with clutch down like it caught up

[@thereef7925]

Late to the party here, but mine is slightly turning with a bit of oomph and the clutch feels too free, any advice or ideas? I’m not exactly the most experienced with these so I may not fully understand what means what haha

[@stephenduggan4119]

Like in the video the clutch will not let the back wheel turn ,took clutch cover off retighten the clutch cable and it still won't start and only on one bike the wheel turns now

[@HughesMotorized]

Watch my installation videos. Also need to see if getting spark and see if you have an intake leak

[@consciousrap]

Thanks my guy I found the issue.

[@garylee7774]

I've got one for ya...I'll pull my clutch, and it will engage by it self. Last time, I was stopped, it engaged and knocked my back tire off alignment!! Any thoughts?!

[@HughesMotorized]

Drive cover where chain is misaligned? or adjustment

My rear wheel has locked up while running can you help me out with an idea why

[@Death_Blade_]

Same

[@SheFoundMyFifi]

Ayy Hughes, I have a problem with my rear hub. I already set everything up, put the sprocket on and serviced the hub...but I had the 2 loose brake pads fall out and I couldn't figure out how to get them back in. I figured I didn't need them, put on the sprocket and called it good. I didn't know I needed to put the brake arm back on. Are those pads necessary? Edit: I actually went ahead and did everything you showed in the video. Now my only issue is the gap between the dust cover and the bearing... My bearing has nothing completely stopping it from coming out :/ because of the gap between the brake cone And the bearing

[@HughesMotorized]

1000000000% necessary

[@carlynnserrano3653]

Thank you you got me up and running

[@carlynnserrano3653]

BTW I've got another problem my gas when I turn the gas it keeps slipping g not sure how to fix it I out glue on gripper piece and plastic that turns I drilled hole for little pin to catch but it's still slipping

[@integrationofmanandmachine4714]

Hey watcha think if i said i replaced the bearing between piston connecting rod and crankshaft?

[@HughesMotorized]

I've never done that. I'm more into building and keeping one running

[@daivonclark5151]

I took out the spark plug to test for spark, and when i let go of the clutch, the back tire siezed up. I suspect theres theres something wrong with the drive sproket because its the last thing i messed with when i installed the chain. i dont know whats wrong with it

[@danbrownellfuzzy3010]

I took out the bucking bar and ball. When I put the new ones in, the bar was over 1/2" sticking out. Its been 3 days of this im stumped.

[@victorialanza5166]

Do i need the small spring on the clutch arm.or is it the bigger spring

[@mattmatter5643]

The small spring goes on the clutch arm, the big spring goes on the other side. The big spring just works to shield the cable.

[@victorialanza5166]

i hope this works im going to try this tomorrow

[@Lolligaag]

What about the spark plug boot I think that the reason I’m not getting a spark!! No matter what I do the spark plug will not snap in place. What can I do to fix this without damaging the boot or going to buy another boot and plug…??

[@HughesMotorized]

You can get another boot from an auto parts store. You clip the wire off right at the boot. Then you strip 1/3" of the wire off and fold it back then the terminal crimps over that. Here's one from amazon amzn.to/4bBC5zc

My rear wheel is turning but it’s spinning the wheel like the throttle is engaged slightly how do I stop that spin

[@Bro-xr6fs]

I need some help! On my 66cc bike when I pedal I hear this screechy noise and when I start the motor or just roll the bike without the motor on the pedals spin by it self. If I let them spin when the bike is on and stop them with my feet the motor turns up and the rear wheel locks up. How do I fix this? This has never happened before?

[@HughesMotorized]

Did you try everything on the video?

[@toxicchemicals6736]

My issue is the wheel will turn when im pedaling but when I have the clutch held in it won't turn freely and I just put a new chain on it but with the old chain it would turn freely

Mine has several back sprockets of the bicycle and every video that I've looked up there's only one sprocket on both sides I can't figure out how to get the chain on mine bicycle side

I installed a spring loaded chain tensioner on my bike and it has jammed like that twice. Do you think getting a tighter spring will fix that problem if I choose to keep using this spring tensioner. Would you recommend installing a chain tensioner that isn't spring loaded?

I like the arch tensioner. easy to adjust. hughesmotorized.com/arch-style-chain-tensioner-for-motorized-bicycle-w-skateboard-wheel-made-in-usa/

Put simply, bore multiplied by stroke gives you the capacity of the engine. Most of the so-called 80cc ones are 66cc

[@tyladube801]

How do I get my piston to move Abit it's a brand new engine with no mf oil in it and that blows my mind and pissed me off when I saw there was no oil cause I'm not starting it without lubrication to the engine first

[@HughesMotorized]

You can put a socket on the output sprocket nut and turn engine over. Once you get gas into it, it will be lubricated. Don't overthink it. These are crude little engines. 40:1 gas oil mix is fine. 6,000 rpm w/ no oil and you'll have issues but that first startup won't hurt it.

[@mattmatter5643]

My wheel won’t turn when the spark plug in, why is that. Anyone know why?
