200es start not engaging just spinning

[ivan-083]

Hey Guys
Just took the 200es for a quick run today! Then started it and the starter just spun and didn’t engage! Even the pull starter wouldn’t engage!
Haven’t taken it apart yet. Any ideas? Starter clutch worn or teeth grounded down?
Thanks

check out one of MRC's you tube videos, im pretty sure he takes one apart and you can see what's inside, probably give you a better idea what might have gone wrong. jim

I hope that nothing else got damaged.

Wow, I have seen them about 2 foot to long, but never broken, check your cam sprocket, see if its bent?

Nothing damaged took the motor and and the head! It snapped on idle! Thank god nothing is damaged! I’ll get some pics on the weekend!

Yes that’s what I thought! Never thought it would have been a snapped cam chain! Nothing bent lucky! Rode it and stopped to pick up my daughter and heard a small ping sound and then it stopped! Lucky I wasn’t ridding flat out!
