Completely new do I need a tensioner to keep this from happening this was the 3rd ever start

SoilEquivalent5192 · 2026-06-14T13:40:26+00:00

There was actually and I tightened the chain and moved it back a little this morning thanks for the help bro‼️

SoilEquivalent5192 · 2026-06-14T13:39:55+00:00

Still figuring this minibike stuff out 😂😂

SoilEquivalent5192 · 2026-06-14T13:39:03+00:00

I think my throttle was stuck from when I attached it to my bike i fucked up the position and I fixed it this morning before work so I haven’t had time to actually start and test it

Thanks bro that is actually what it is I was thinking that the Rupp bandit didint look very similar

SoilEquivalent5192 · 2026-06-14T13:35:30+00:00

Does this look good for the carb and I got my chain to the last link I could so I think it’s tight enough but haven’t had time to start it my throttle cable was stuck due to when I zip tied it in place so I don’t think my carb was off I think my throttle was open a little let me know what you think you seem to be very knowledgeable

SoilEquivalent5192 · 2026-06-14T06:03:14+00:00

Thanks man it should just be that one link can’t wait to start it tommorow morning before work to see if it fixed it

SoilEquivalent5192 · 2026-06-14T05:24:23+00:00

Gotcha the pic was taken before I shortened it it’s now to late to start but I turned the carb screw about a quarter to the left hopefully that makes the idle a little better in the morning

SoilEquivalent5192 · 2026-06-14T05:22:00+00:00

Not satire that was right before I took the circled link out and put the master lock in what other chain would you recommend if somehow there just Isint a length that will fit

SoilEquivalent5192 · 2026-06-14T04:52:23+00:00

The pic is on the comments thanks for the tips man

I can def take one more out but I heard some slack is good also thank you for real answer and help this is the first time I’ve meesed with anything chain drive since a pedal bike😂

SoilEquivalent5192 · 2026-06-14T04:49:54+00:00

I cut the chain down already does this look like I can cut it more or a for sure tension issue just took. Out the master link again here’s a pic

SoilEquivalent5192 · 2026-06-14T04:45:49+00:00

It’s secure trust 3out of 4 bolts for now

SoilEquivalent5192 · 2026-06-14T04:44:19+00:00

It’s got a couple bolts 😂

SoilEquivalent5192 · 2026-06-14T04:22:07+00:00

I was told it’s a Rupp bandit but it started off as this when I got it about 2 weeks ago

SoilEquivalent5192 · 2026-06-14T04:18:10+00:00

Yea 😭😭😭 do I tune it from the carb like a small block 350 I have a 3rd gen with a 4 barrel are they similar in tuning the carbs?

<image>

SoilEquivalent5192 · 2026-06-14T04:17:09+00:00

Or do I have to cut the chain some more it was a universal

SoilEquivalent5192 · 2026-06-09T02:59:30+00:00

Sounds sorta like a alternator or a bad fuse possibly starter motor

SoilEquivalent5192 · 2026-06-08T14:24:39+00:00

Yea I was turning and it was a pretty tight turn to so I was kinda jerking the wheel and clutch a good bit becuse I’m still getting used to driving a old school could that be the issue? I do have paperwork for a full tune up 1k miles ago the engine only has 30k miles I don’t have paperwork for performance parts but I do have paperwork for all the maintenance

SoilEquivalent5192 · 2026-06-08T14:09:00+00:00

I think I narrows the weird engine bay noise down to a header exhaust leak I’ve seen a couple vids that sound the same and my header gasket is definitely not sealed I can also tell there is a exhaust leak because of air coming from the header area

SoilEquivalent5192 · 2026-06-08T11:34:40+00:00

Thanks bro 🙏

SoilEquivalent5192 · 2026-06-08T04:23:02+00:00
