The other day I was riding home, and I didn't move the throttle from where it originally was... but the engine kept revving, but the driveshaft wasn't spinning. I had to walk it home because I had the pedal chain off at that time.
I called the guy I got the bike from & I told him I thought it was the clutch. He said, no... it would have died. I agreed at that point, and he said the only thing it could be is the gearbox.
I didn't realize these single gear 2-strokes had gearboxes... I thought it was just a clutch housing.
Either way, the bike just magically started working a day or two later... but I'm still trying to figure out why the driveshaft wouldn't spin when the engine was definitely revving...
