Welcome, sorry to hear the motor went already. If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say the carb would be fouled.

I had the same issues with uploading pictures as you did. But you have to realize that the site only accepts pictures that are limited to 1024 KB of resolution or 1024 X 768 pixels in size. I hope this helps.

I see you figured out the upload thing. Nice pictures!

Are you gonna put any springs under the seat? It looks a little close to the back wheel for my comfort. Also, I'm curious about your back wheel size. Is it a 150?

Welcome. Looks like a 150. Also looks like the seat is touching it. But you don't have any shocks on it, and it doesn't look like you have struts either. I highly recommend staying with shocks, for safety. The Rebel swingarm really isn't designed for a hardtail, unless you plan to ride it only occasionally. BTW, did you find out what was wrong with the motor? Jerry.

i have not yet tear down the motor to see the problem. the rear tires are stock 150, the seat is on springs now, and im using a straight bar vs the struts and this is my recent pick of my Projeck Rising Sun.
