Clutch
Big Red.
Yer right Moto, But ya notice I said " as long as the clutch turns the motor over". Of course if it don't then it's a clutch issue. And yeah, power washing is the worst idea I've ever heard. But this is comming from the guy that say's the B6HS is a useless spark plug. If I EVER let my motors get so dirty they needed power washing someone should shoot me.I really think it's a clutch issue.
first, he said that the clutch lever has very little tension (a sign of the clutch or cable being way out of adjustment).
he is hearing a squeeking noise, a sign of the clutch actrually slipping.
the engine won't turn over, another sign of the clutch slipping.
he didn't mention of the rear wheel turns while trying to peddle start it or not.
if the rear wheel keeps turning when the clutch is released, the clutch is slipping.
I don't think it's an ignition or fuel problem at all.
I'd place my money on a clutch issue.
Powerwashing is a bad idea. this can cause water to get into the magneto which will give you no spark, which will only add to the problem.
if it were a jammed chain, the rear wheel would be locked up all the time.
keep it simple and don't dissassemble too muich at one time.
I'm betting that the problem is right there in plain site...which again, probably has to do with the clutch slipping in my opinion.
