Hi all, im posting for some advice, i am troubleshooting a ytm200 my friend gave me because he thinks he blew it up. we were out riding one night on my 200x and he had his ytm 200, on the ride bike, it was alot of street riding his trike started to lose power and eventually stalled, his head pipe was glowing. he thinks he blew it up, since then it has sat in my back yard for a year, it starts up every time on the second pull, and i can ride it around my back yard all day, but it does not have the power it used too, it can barely go up hills on the street any more, so far i have checked the plug, checked the decompression cable to make sure it wasnt stuck, and i adjusted the clutch last night (it was turned all the way tight so i loosened it a 1/4 turn like the books says) i will try it again tommorow during the day with the new clutch adjustment. and i have also cleaned out the carb/ everything looks good with the carb, air filter is clean. this trike used to run very good and used to keep up with my 200x no problem. i will also throw the compression gauge on tommorow, as i do not think it is blown up. any other suggestions on what to check before i drain the oil and start looking at the two clutches, or what to look for on the clutches?? im pretty good with working on quads, but i am not familiar with automatic quads. thanks !
also one more thing the P.O. did switch the stock pipe for a DC pipe, and never made any carb adjustments, but he rode with me for about a year no issues with that set-up........and the motor does idle good, the head pipe does still start to glow every time i try to ride it up the street up a hill.......also we used to do alot of riding through creeks. thanks
