How to
use a Pocket Bike, Gas
Scooter, or Gas Skateboard Pull
Start?
When
pulling a Pocket Bike, Gas Scooter
Gas Skateboard Pull Start, Make
sure you pull the chord out
a little till you feel the pocket
bike, gas scooter, or gas skateboard
pull start engage. Then use
a short quick pull to turn the
motor over. This is the best
and only way that the pull start
should be used on a pocket bike,
gas scooter, or gas skateboard.
You
should not pull the cord all
the way out.
#4
How do I mix the gas and 2 cycle
(2 stroke) oil?
Rocket
Pocket Bikes Make
sure you properly mix your 2
cycle (2 stroke) oil with your
gas. (Use low or middle grade
gas, anything higher will over
heat your bike and void your
warranty) Rocket Pocket
Bikes are mixed at a 32:1 ratio
(said 32 to 1) or a 35:1 ratio.
These are good mixture ratios
to run your rocket pocketbike.
If you have read your pocketbike
manual, Follow these instructions
listed Here, your manual is
wrong. Once you have broken
your Pocket Bike in and have
used at least 5 full tanks of
gas, you can go up to a 40:1
mix ratio.
Gas
Powered Racing Scooters or Gas
Skateboard Again use
low or middle grade gas,
anything higher will over heat
your scooter and void your warranty.
Start with a 32:1 gas oil mix
ratio. If you have read your
gas powered racing scooter manual
follow these instructions listed
Here your manual is wrong.
Once you have broken your gas
scooter in and have used at
least 5 full tanks of gas, you
can go up to a 35:1 mix ratio.
#5
How do I prep my Pocket Bike
or Gas Racing Scooter or Gas
Skateboard?
Once
you have mixed the gas/oil and
fill your rocket pocket bike
or gas racing scooter up. Next
you will want to very slowly
with a short pull, Extend
the pull start chord out so
you feel the motor turn over.
When pulling the pull start
chord out always use short strokes,
this drastically extends the
life of the bike. Do
not forget to follow instruction
#1 above.
The
slow pulling is siphoning the
gas/oil into the Brand New (Completely
Dry) motor chamber. This
process will lube your rocket
pocket bike or gas racing scooter
piston and cylinder wall (The
Motor) Repeat this process
at least 20 times to make
sure you have lubed your rocket
pocket bike or gas racing scooter
motor.
#6
How do I adjust my Rocket Pocket
Bike Carburetor?
Adjusting
your Carburetor is quick and
easy. Tuning your Carburetor
will make sure your Rocket
PocketBike starts with ease
and goes super fast.
1.
Check your fuel lines
and make sure they are connected
properly.
2.
Make sure your fuel on/off
lever is turned to the on position
to let the flow of gas through.
The on/off lever is the white
thumb tab on your carburetor.
If gas is leaking out of your
pocket bike as soon as you do
this, you will want to go to
a scooter or pocket bike shop
and get a fuel filter to put
on your gas line of your pocket
bike.
3.
Put your choke lever to the
on position. This may not
necessarily be the same as how
the on/off position is labeled
on the pocket bike. (When the
choke is in the on position
the lever will be covering (blocking)
the intake hole, hence choking
the pocket bike out) When the
choke lever is in the off position
the intake hole will be open
letting in as much air as possible.
4.
Now find the screw on the
side of the Carburetor that
has a little spring on the shaft
of it. This is your air/fuel
mixture screw. If you have
a Full Fairing (Fairings are
the side plastics on the pocket
bike) Pocket Bike you will have
to take the Fairing off to see
the carburetor.
As
a good starting point you
will want to gently turn this
screw all the way to the right
till it stops. Then turn
a full turn to the Left.
Put your rocket pocket bike
on the bike stand with the rear
tire off of the ground. From
here you will start the pocket
bike with the choke lever in
the on position. (blocking the
intake) Then turn the throttle
lever a little so the pocket
bike starts easier. Now you
can pull the pull start with
a short quick stroke. The
bike should start with in 10
strokes. Make sure you follow
instruction #1 above.
If
your Rocket Pocket bike does
not start,
use Carburetor Cleaner.
Take
the spark plug wire off of your
spark plug. Then remove your
spark plug. Spray some Carburetor
Cleaner into the hole. Screw
your plug back in till it is
snug. Put the spark plug wire
back on your Rocket Pocket bike
carb and pull the pull start
with a short quick stroke. Turn
the throttle handle a little
or have someone help you. Your
bike will fire up with in 10
strokes.
Leave
the rocket pocket bike warm
up for a few minutes once it
starts. Twisting the throttle
handle (giving it gas) to make
sure it does not stall out.
You will want to throttle the
pocket bike and listen to the
motor to see what kind of pitch
and power the motor is giving
off. Then tune the air/fuel
mixture screw (screw with the
little spring on the shaft of
it) a 1/16th (remember this
means ever so slightly) of a
turn to the left. Then follow
it by turning the throttle and
listening to your rocket pocketbike.
The
immediate goal is to be able
to turn the choke off and still
have the rocket pocket bike
idle. The next goal is to be
able to have the carburetor
finely tuned so your rocket
pocket bike will go top speed
(Super Fast).
You
will want to throttle the pocket
bike and listen to the motor
to see what kind of pitch and
power the motor is giving off.
Then tune the air/fuel mixture
screw a 1/16th (remember this
means ever so slightly) of a
turn to the left. Then follow
it by turning the throttle and
listening to your pocket bike.
Carefully
repeating the steps by revving
the motor, listening and then
ever so slightly tuning the
air/fuel mixture screw. This
process will change the pitch
and power the motor gives off.
Once the motor gives off some
power you can even go for a
quick spin on your new rocket
pocket bike and come back and
tune it again.
You
will be repeating these tuning
steps all the while listening
to your rocket pocket bikes
motor. The rocket pocket bike
motor will sound smoother and
more powerful after some tuning.
If you go too far, at one point
you will hear the motor sound
powerful and smooth then just
drop off. At this point you
will want to step backwards
and tune to the right 1/16th
of a turn.
Completing
these Rocket Pocket Bike adjustment
steps above will produce Extreme
Speed and Excitement.

Why
does my chain fall off my Gas
Racing Scooter or Gas Skateboard?
This
is caused by a bent sprocket
the chain not being aligned
properly, or the motor not being
aligned.
The chain can be adjusted in
2 ways. First you want to make
sure the rear tire is straight.
Just eye ball it and you should
be able to tell if it's straight
or not. If it's not straight
loosen the nuts that hold the
wheel in place. Adjust the chain
tightening screws in the back
until wheel is straight. If
your chain still looks crooked
then you need to adjust the
motor. To adjust the motor simply
lay the scooter on its side
so you can get to the bottom
of the motor. You will see 3
screws. Loosen all 3 screws
a little. Put some lock tight
on the screws before tightening
the screws back. Then straighten
the motor until the chain looks
straight and your chain will
never fall off again.
