Hey folks. Been a while, I know, but I've encountered a new problem and I'm not sure if I'm on the right track looking for the solution.
(66cc China Girl, with a clutch roller instead of factory set-up)
The bike's been running fine, until recently. Over the course of a couple of trips it's gone from fine to where the motor isn't engaging when I let the clutch lever out. It looks like the clutch arm isn't returning to the outer-most position when the lever is released, so the motor isn't engaging. I had a little success with it by letting out all the tension on the clutch cable from the adjustment points at the motor and the clutch lever, however I can push the bike with the lever out and there's no resitance from the motor trying to turn over. The clutch arms range of motion is suddenly very sloppy (to the inside), to keep the cable tight the arm is swung too far in. In one of Norm's threads I've read about adjusting the tension on the spring that surrounds the shaft internally (not the one under the clutch cover), and am thinking that might be it. I'm thinking of trying to adjust that next.
Any other ideas?
Thanks
