WE made it

[Noobi06]

Okay guys, today, the 125cc finally started. However i got some minor problems.
1. When the fuel tank is basically empty, the fuel flow is great. When I fill it up more than empty, there comes barely any fuel. If I unplug the fuel hose from the carburetor, it starts to flow very good again. Why is this happening?
I accidentally added too much 2T oil (around 5%). This made the engine basically idle with the choke on, and then it died. Now that I filled up the fuel tank with the right mixture, and with more, it doesnt start. Is this because it barely gets fuel? I mean filter is basically empty. Why doesnt it flow?

Its worth adding that it started coming a lot of fuel from the nipples on the carburetor. That was only when it started though.
It has not happend otherwise, even when the carb was fuel
Therefore im assuming that the floating thingy hasnt got stuck?

Problem = solved
I accidentally added too much 2t oil which clogged something somewhere. Today when I kicked it and gave it some gas I got to fire up and yeah it was def clogged. You could barely hear the engine.
Now it runs soooooo goood. This is my first real dirt bike, woow, its insane

Pro Tip.

Cover the rear brake. Even if you pop it up on the clutch, the rear brake will drop the front wheel down.

Runs good

Yes, I noticed that rear brake is important. It is insane how much power these things have. Ive only ridden my 50cc road "dirt bike" before. Holy moly, I gave like 40% gas and front wheel went 4dm over the ground, i shit myself.
Now, last worry before I hopefully leave this engine for a while, does it sound good? No bearings wrongly installed that already gave up? Since every one of them is new...
Im also gonna just check the power valve since I could barely move it by hand. Im gonna pop the cover and see if it opens when I gas.

And ride with your "guns" out - always have one finger on front brake and clutch - quicker reaction time to stop and also if the front comes up unnexpectedly or you spin out, pulling the clutch will cut power to the rear instantly.
