SOURCE: My son just bought a 26

The plastic is to stop the chain from touching the spokes, it cannot cause this problem, either the chain is not on a sprocket correctly or the rear cluster(sprockets) is not working.
Some spray lube may help, but if it is new, take it back to the shop.

SOURCE: Hi...just put together my son's

It sounds as though the chain is too tight. Check to see when it is "freewheeled" if the chain gets tighter. Generally this will happen because the chain ring (front sprocket) was not perfectly aligned with the "spider" (thing it bolts to). You can loosen the chain a little and see if this helps. Be careful because you don't want it so loose the it comes off while riding. What I usually do is adjust the tension of the chain with the sprocket in the tight spot. Kind of tight but without the "grinding" feeling.
Good luck.

Until you resolve this please don't let your son ride the bike.

Do you mean skipping as in the chain is advancing over the cog or chainwheel teeth? It sounds like you don't have sufficient tension on the chain. After loosening the rear axle nuts, pull the wheel evenly back to make the chain snug but not tight, then tighten the nuts and make sure the wheel is straight, centered and not rubbing the frame.

ok well its best decided how to fix it if you can tell me what style of rim and freewheel you have if the freewheel goes all the way to the tip of the axle then its more than likely a cassette style rim and if it appears hollow at the axle end and you can somewhat see inside the freewheel then i would just buy a freewheel cassette for it because in most cases a faulty freewhell body cant be serviced and need replaced when they fail up on you another cause of this is riding in the winter so find out what kind it is and message me back ok ill better inform you of the best possible way to ride happier longer :) this is also a super common problem ok
