My '87 TRX 200SX hasn't been running well...here's the problem...I don't know if it's the engine or clutch. When I go up hills it seems to bog down the engine and it wont go anywhere, is that the clutch or the engine or both?? please help...Thanks

 

When you go up the hill, if the engine revs higher, but doesn't pull, it's the clutch.

If the engine simply acts if it's not getting any fuel, it's the engine.

The clutch is adjustable on that model. There is an adjustment screw on the engine side cover. Loosen the nut and then turn the center screw OUT till you feel resistance. Then turn it IN a 1/4 turn. Then hold the screw from turning while you tighten the nut back.

Ride it then and see how it does. A clutch adjustment can't hurt anything whether thats your problem or not.

 

Ya Thanks I know how to do the adjustment, I have tried but nothing works. Its hard to tell if it's the engine or clutch...more help please[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
