The back of the nut was worn down, so I ended up putting a lock washer behind it and torqued it down. I don't think it is going anywhere now. The head of my cordless drill fell off trying to get the engine started because the flywheel spins backwards when trying to start the engine. It will...
My pull start is out of commission and while waiting on the new assembly to arrive, I tried starting the engine using a cordless drill and 11/16 socket. The engine started up, but the nut on the impeller loosened up and caused the impeller to fall off while the engine was running. I tried...
I finally got it going this afternoon! I'm pretty sure it was because of bad gas. I also serviced the clutch by sanding down the gunk on the inside with a piece of sand paper and then oiling the bearing. The chain was really rusty too, so I gave it an oil bath and then tightened the slack by...
I have cleaned the carb out with carb cleaner as best I could. Drained all of the old gas and dropped a few drops of gas under the spark plug. The bike is starting, revs super hard, and then dies out.

Thanks for the advice. I took the spark plug out this morning and replaced with a new one. I also dropped in some gas like you said and the engine fired right up, but it will stall out after starting up. Do I need to take the carb apart and clean it now? It did sit with gas in it for over a year.
My bike has sat all summer because the pull start was broken. Well I finally fixed it and when I went to crank it up, I cannot get it to start for the life of me. My friend was messing with it last year when all these issues happened and after he came back from a ride one day, the bike was going...
Thanks for the info. I had a feeling it was rusted pretty bad from the photos. I had him down to what I though was a decent price and then he went and painted the frame blue. Now he is asking $25 more for paint and labor. I said thanks but no thanks.
I recently purchased a Baja DB30R and am now interested in building my own mini bike from scratch. My friend is selling this frame, but I have not been able to identify it online. Can anybody help? Also, how much do you think it is worth? He said it only has rust on the bottom rear of the frame.
