A friend of mine just gave me this A guy was going to buy this from him kept a year without paying for it so my friend told me to go get it and that I could have it. Well I went and got it the guy told me the coil was bad and I needed to get one well got it home I told my son the heck with it hooked the coil up and shot a little starting fluid in her and what you know she started right up Not for sure what cc's but I know it is a 2 stoke engine and a kit but still it is cool going to be a cool project to do

Congrats! I dunno what cc it is just by looking at it, I'm guess 49cc cause I see those bolt on kinda kits for bikes, but I dunno. 2T piston port. Looks like fun. I had a piston port midbike long ago, been wanting another to play with a different kind of 2T (the scoots are reed valve) now that I know a little bit more about 2Ts. Haven't done it though. I'll have to live vicariously through you, so give us plenty of details and what you think once you get to ride it!
I'd get that coil away from the exhaust and probably clean out the fuel system for starters. Not sure what the cut wire is going to, but if it's a kill switch I would advise getting that straight before riding it.

Whatever you do, DO NOT TRUST A RUSTY THROTTLE CABLE! I tried to lube one up once and it cost me a wreck, $1100 hospital bill and 3 months off work.

the best way is to just get new ones if they are stuck or sticking the plastic coating is gone and they will fail at the worts possible time the throttle will hang at wot and the brake cable or clutch cable wont work at while its hung wot

Yet another vote for replacement. I've screwed around and tried to use cables in bad shape and it always ends with a moment of panic followed by franticly looking for the kill switch or putting my feet down trying to brake. lol

I couldn't wait to work on this thing It would run for a few seconds with starter fluid I ripped the carb off and wow it was so rusted up I cleaned it that's why the throttle was stuck
Re-ran the wires away from the exhaust and kicked it and started revved up and down like normal this thing sounds good a little loud
For tomorrow pump up the tires fix the clutch cable and take her for a spin really can't wait but its almost 1:30 am don't think the neighbors would like that lol
She is setting on a 21 speed I have never rode one not sure how it will go but I will post back on how she goes might even upload a video on the ride.

Can you pedal the bike to get it moving and at 15-20 mph let out the clutch?
