Im looking to reduce the sqealing sound coming from the clutch of the skyhawk. I know you can adjust the clutch tension to engage better, but will that affect the sound when you're already moving?

You prolly need to lube the clutch actuator rod. They have been known squeal when they are dry. It is under the sprocket cover on the left side of the engine. When you take that cover off there is a rode that goes into the center of the sprocket.

Grease both sides of it. There will be a little ball bearing hidden behind that rode in the center of that sprocket. Do not lose it! On the right hand side of the motor take the clutch cover plate off and put just a small dab of grease on the gears . Try that and see if it mebbe helps. Give this link a read he goes into specifics about the clutch on one of the pages. About what needs lubed and how much.
