ATC 200m help

[rick123]

Hi, i have a 1984 200m that had water in the engine, i pulled it apart, cleaned it out and put iy back together. Now the trike will not go into gear. It feels like it wants to but just wont conect. Any thoughts?

Thanks a whole lot

Try taking the clutch cover off and seeing if the gearshift drum moves when you move the gearlever.
How long did the engine have water in it ?

Yes the gearshift drum moves, the engine had water in it for awhile I guess. I just bought it and noticed the oil was white and was not getting to the top end. When I first bought the trike and unloaded it from the pick up truck, it was doing the same thing, not going into gear. I had to move it again to a friends house and when I unloaded it there, it was working. On the clutch cover the is an adjustment nut and screw, when I adjusted that it seems to be closer to going into gear, but just won't connect.

You need to " counter-clock " that screw t'il it seats ( don't force it hard.. just turn until it stops ) and then go back in 1/4 turn and lock the nut.

that will adjust your clutch free-play.
