Monster Moto Won't Start Fix / Mega Moto 80cc Mini Bike Hard to Start Tips

After getting many questions about how to fix the hard to start issue some people were having with their Monster Moto / Mega Moto 80cc mini bike, I decided to make this video to give some of my tips and things that help me start my Monster Moto / Mega Moto mini bike. I had to move this video into the basement as it was raining and the garage is full of projects. Hopefully this will help with your mini bike after it's not been started in a long time and it won't start.

If you hold the throttle while starting it helps a lot 👍

[@blakesmith8324]

Yes it does sometimes but it also increases the chance of flooding the engine

[@zinnstigertownmowers780]

Yea I hate when my mini bike doesn’t start. Good experience for the boy. I never had a father like this but I’ve had father figures to get me through

[@sunshinerobertson271]

Thanks for this video got ahold of one that hasn't been ran in 8 months and this helped me start it

[@FatherandSonHavingFun]

Glad I could help.

[@downsouthsquonks4020]

Is it possible to adjust the inner brake pad on the 80cc? I see the outer pad can be adjusted but my daughters inner pad is rubbing the rotor constantly!

[@Generaldevious]

Ok so I have problems with mine every time I pull the pull start it moves tired forward and won't start you think there's a way to fix that?

[@JAYN805]

ok thanks man I will keep you updated!

[@kadeemthom7622]

I was trying to get my mini bike to start but it couldn’t and hopefully this video will help me to get it to work.

[@worknnegro5245]

Also try taking out your air filter then trying to start it. And try checking your carborator if none of those work

[@RetroDiesel]

Hey, love the bike ~ I have one myself as well. I gotta ask... Where did you find the white seat??? I can only find black and red.

[@JAYN805]

yea fresh gas We took off carburetor cleaned it now my fuel line has a leak in it. So I am gonna replace fuel line hope fully that will work. I have spark sprayed starter fluid behind filter and started but died. Fuel flow problem?

[@FatherandSonHavingFun]

If you have a fuel line leak or will pull air causing it to die..

[@mythoti]

You should check your spark plug, was my issue, that and lubing the clutch

[@zackzysek8303]

I got one of these in a trade that I'm working on cleaning up. It runs, but needs a few small things replaced or cleanedI keep forgetting I should lube the clutch. I'll do that on my day off when I have daylight to spend working on it and changing the spark plug and oil and all that

[@bigdog5389]

you had the kill switch off the first time you tried to start it I watched this video very closely then at the end you turned it on lol keep it 100 am I right?

[@FatherandSonHavingFun]

Yes I had the killswitch in the off position on purpose to show all the steps to go through. If I would have had it in the on position, it probably would have started due to the fact I use fuel stabilizer. Good eye boss.

[@jahnonclark9271]

Hi

[@silver.ice5.3]

Where did you get the carbon fiber plastics?

[@FatherandSonHavingFun]

I had the original parts hydrodipped.

[@MOBFOREVA]

Worked like a charm thank you!

[@slitzaverage9420]

There is a starter on the back and you have to switch it when you start it

[@FatherandSonHavingFun]

Yup, it's called the choke.

[@obe1canobe146]

Help me out. Mine will crank only when I’m holding the accelerator and I can drive it a round. Do you know what the problem.??? Thanks

[@FatherandSonHavingFun]

First I'd check to make sure the choke is working then I would adjust the idle screw. Hope this helps.

[@JNation0812]

mine works good now after watching this video, but i’ve noticed it tends to go slower then usual, even when having it the clutch on run. any help ?

[@youpinhead8789]

Maybe choke was on

[@XplorinWithPaul]

Is this all you gotta do? It will start after other times without spraying

[@JAYN805]

bro it started thank you.

[@FatherandSonHavingFun]

Awesome, your welcome...

[@eastcoastfishingchannel451]

I just bought one today it starts runs for a couple seconds and then turns off would the starter spray fix it?, it is brand new out of the box

[@FatherandSonHavingFun]

Make sure the choke is working and feather the throttle. May need the idle screw adjusted as well. These mini bikes are very cold natured but once warmed up run smooth.

[@freegirljonessa6976]

Did you ever get this problem fixed? Mine does the same thing. It starts for a few seconds then dies.

[@jmiera2424]

What if it still don't start? I even cleaned out the carburetor with no luck! Anything else you can think of would be much appreciated?

[@FatherandSonHavingFun]

Are you getting spark from the spark plug?

[@FatherandSonHavingFun]

Sounds like the clutch may be toasted and it's staying engaged, keeping it from starting.

[@logangunn7366]

i’ve tried doing this a few times and it would start but then stall out after about 3 seconds... should i clean the carburetor? it hasn’t been driven in about 2 years

[@FatherandSonHavingFun]

Yes I would spray the carburetor down with carb cleaner. You have drained all the old gas right?

[@g7ekt422]

How’s the kids hand now after the boxers fracture? Just got mine in a cast the other day

[@FatherandSonHavingFun]

His hand is good now. He had a little numbness and tenderness at first but now like it never happened.

[@g7ekt422]

Father and Son Having Fun awk that’s good then

[@Suburb_hell]

I just bought a new carb and installed it because it would run but then turn off after a bit. It’s still doing it after installing the new carb. Any ideas? Would be appreicated

[@FatherandSonHavingFun]

Do you think the petcock might be partially clogged or the gas tank vent as well?

[@rickjohnson9099]

ours starts great but now it's smoking & doesn't have much power. any advice? Thanks!

[@FatherandSonHavingFun]

Make sure your choke is off, the air filter is clean, the spark plug is not fouled,and your gas is not gone bad. That's a few things to check before getting into more serious diagnosis.

[@rickjohnson9099]

@@FatherandSonHavingFun Yeah, It's all good as far as those things go. I see now that it's leaking oil from somewhere. Going to have to clean the engine & find the leak.

[@ronaldemoore7915]

Make Shure the lever, on the the right side of the carb, is set to the front of the bike. That's what was wrong with mine, thanks

[@colleentaylor9989]

Started the season fresh, new gas, cleaned the carburetor, new plug, new chain, grandson ran it for two days,ran great next day went to start it, starts,quit,starts,quits..what's wrong??

[@FatherandSonHavingFun]

Sounds like it's idling to low and the idle speed needs to be turned up or the clutch is going bad.

[@edgarblood69]

How much of that stabilizer do u need to add to that bike

[@FatherandSonHavingFun]

I add it to the fuel storage container, the stabilizer has the amount to add per gallon on the back of the bottle.

[@ParasiteSec]

I got this bike from my neighbor who left the bike out in the weather. I've cleaned the carburetor and the fuel lines and replaced the spark plug. We can get it going with starting fluid but then it quits and stops working. What could be the problem?

[@FatherandSonHavingFun]

Could need a carb rebuild kit or sometimes the clutch locks up and will stall the engine out. Lift the back tire off the ground while starting it and see it dies or if it keeps running. That will tell you if it's the clutch.

[@ParasiteSec]

@@FatherandSonHavingFun do I need to turn the switch to run?

[@FatherandSonHavingFun]

Yes...

[@zackzysek8303]

Would just starting fluid do the trick? I'm having trouble starting the one I just got in a trade. I know it runs cause I've got it to start, but I tweaked some things and tried to start it again and it wouldn't go

[@FatherandSonHavingFun]

Yeah probably, you might want to put some fresh gas in there depending how long it's been sitting

[@zackzysek8303]

@@FatherandSonHavingFun it's got fresh gas. I had trouble starting it last night, but I brought it to work with me so we can mess with it, and it started fine. We changed the oil, I lubed it up, and on break I'm gonna get a spark plug and hopefully a brake lever if I can find one

[@FatherandSonHavingFun]

Here's one I used and it's adjustable link to it in the video description. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gp2VZqyZhrOif8k

[@jordanminibike9576]

My Monster moto has been sitting for 3 years I dumped the gas I put fresh gas new oil every time I give it throttle or doesn't go and it stalls

[@mommylifee3684]

So ours just ran for one day then shut off while in the middle of riding it and it started smoking? Now it won’t start back any advice?

[@FatherandSonHavingFun]

I would start with a spark plug , other than that it sounds like it may be something more serious like a bad carburetor or rings. Hope it's just a fouled spark plug, let us know how it turns out and good luck. Thanks for watching and commenting hope you have a great day.

[@memessimonides3945]

It's brand new you have to let it run for a week 30 min a day and Sunday ride it a little bit then it's good to go 👍😁😁

[@littlejojo275]

It over heated

[@mommylifee3684]

Nayaid Medina what’s that mean if it’s over heated?

[@mommylifee3684]

kristian Simonides I cant even get it to start back up

[@coryallen7220]

I can start it with starting fluid that is the only time it’ll crank I put in a new spark plug cleaned tolhe carb out I put fresh gas in idk wat it could be

[@monamedina3813]

Why when I turn on the choke switch ON the gas link?

[@henryglends]

Well, I have a problem with mine. It works, but... the fuel won’t go INTO the carberoator. We had to use an air hose and put it in the tank to force it in, and yet it still wasn’t working. It isn’t getting any fuel. Any idea why?

[@FatherandSonHavingFun]

Possibly a bad petcock, will the lever move back and forth to turn the gas off and on or is it stuck?

[@henryglends]

Father Family Fun I fixed it. Had fun riding. The problem was a blockage :) thanks!

[@damarkusmoore5857]

Mines stay on thin it turn off I got a new spark plug, new filters, and a new gas head help me bad

[@unknown-jd2tr]

my new mini bike would not start, turns out the spark plug cap was unpluged.

[@ave3911]

Mine turns on. Then it turns off after 10 seconds. I don’t know what’s wrong.

[@mr.427exclusive]

❤

[@JAYN805]

its starts but it dies in 5 sec help me

[@FatherandSonHavingFun]

Have you changed the fuel in the gas tank?

[@chikenwing385]

Aye bro keep reving it untill ur on and start riding if u let go it will stop

[@chikenwing385]

Oh and new carb and hold the throttle half way when u start it

[@tristanbennett6007]

I rode mine in winter and it’s been sitting for 2 years

[@OnPointFirearms]

Thanks!!!!

[@phoenixmichael2732]

thank u

[@looneytoon59]

My bike doesn't stay idle. Any suggestions on why and what to do?

[@sherrywoodward9369]

😒 Still does NOT run on it's own. The Carburetor has been off of it 3 times. The spark plug has been change. It is getting fuel because the fuel valve "when on" flows gas out. Yes, there is oil. It will run 3 seconds on a shot of starter fluid administered in the hole from the removed air filter.

[@rakeshiacollins567]

How do you turn it off

[@jacob.alwazani]

When u want to turn off the engine hit the red kill switch

[@4ke3m]

My bike broke what do i do

[@alltheabove9960]

He didn't know he had the shut off switch ativated cause he kept pulling like it was all good

[@FatherandSonHavingFun]

I did know , I had it off for demonstration purposes. Why would it be hard to start? I keep my mini bike in dry storage and keep fuel stabilizer in it.

[@sayblaze]

Change spark plug still won't start

[@respect-vw6mw]

May I just say he did not have the kill switch on I’m not dumb

[@FatherandSonHavingFun]

I did say it was fir demonstration reasons so you are dumb...

[@jerricatucker2978]

he hav it on

[@jerricatucker2978]

he havit on

[@Digitolman]

Love the orange base boards!......NOT
