So here is my newest newbie question I formulated today:
A) How can I prevent the engine from turning off when I stop for a stop sign or red light?
Today I did the following to stop: Pull in clutch, shift from second gear to first, release clutch, let go of throttle, brake, stop. The engine turned off after I stopped and my speedometer went to zero.
I was able to keep the engine on during a stop when I did the following: Pull in clutch, shift from second gear to first, release clutch, let go of throttle, brake, stop, pull clutch, engage throttle gently while brake is still on (still stopped), then I released clutch to drive off again. Is this the right way to do it? Am I supposed to be pulling on the clutch, brake, and engaging the throttle gently during a full stop to stop the engine from shutting down? If so, this doesn't seem very efficient...
HELP!!!

You should be pulling in the clutch just a few feet before coming to a stop. That dis-engages the engine from the back wheel. The engine should remain idling on it's own without opening the throttle. It may need the idle adjusted if it stops on it's own.
