major 200m problem, lots of questions

[hedge1988]

I was riding the m today and it started making a whiring grinding sound for a second and then died. I can't even pull the pull rope on it it is siezed any ideas?

[IceDude]

Have you ever had the topend apart?? If so did you locktight the camsprtcket bolts?? If not then you could have experienced a (spinning no less) cam bolt to your head. resulting in a bad lock-up(not fun or funny happened to my brothers 200s).

HOLD ON THERE dont go pullin the top end, first take the pull start off and see if it just fell apart

[hedge1988]

no I have never had the motor apart at alland yes the pull start is the first thing I am gonna chec any other ideas on what I should look for

id check the pullstart..if thats not it i bet it is the the sprocket or its siezed...have you tried the electric start on it?? try it without the pullstarter on there

[hedge1988]

dude 3wheeler motors a pretty simple to take apart and rebuild.....i thought it would be a pain i the arse and you have a 200 so it should be even easier then the 350x im rebuilding .....but it should only take you 30 mins or so to have the top end all apart......just take your time and a manual and get one of you buddies thats mechanicly inclined if you are not.....and it should be a pretty easy job.....by the way drain the oil and see if you see little metel shavings in it

[hedge1988]

I may do that if I can deterine i is the bottom end gone bad and not the top. because I have one handy here. I am just holding on to see if I can get this other trike up and going first.
