wont start now

[yamahaman89]

i was riding my 200x and the clutch wouldnt diengage and it killed on me and now it wont start even with ethor. could he timing have jumped oh by the way its an 83'

First off check for spark by pulling the plug and put it near a good ground so it sparks the gap. If it does have spark the I'd tear the cdi cover off and the timing hole cover and get it to tdc and see how the timing looks. I've never had any of my honda's skip timing. It it is out of timing the I'd adjust the timing by removing the cam and sprocket then line everything up then MAKE SURE TO TENSION YOU CAM CHAIN AFTER SETTING YOUR TIMING. Has your trike been making alot of chain chatter in the top or bottomend??? There isn't too much to these motors at all.

i looked at it more closely and gas and coming out the back of the carb when i kick it over and the guy who just replaced the cam said my exchaust vavle was lose could that be the problem and how do i tighten it

[yamahaman89]

oh yea and she does have spark

Any compression at all, chances are if you dropped a valve you'd know it instantly.

[yamahaman89]

she is pretty easy to kck over maybe there is just not enogh compression
but that dont explain the gas coming out the back of thw carb

It's possible you bent the intake valve. This would explain the easy to kick over and the gas coming out of the back carb. I would start with doing a compression check.

Lol, I love the mysterious gas overflow out the back of the carb problem. Seems like it is coming up a lot lately. I had that problem. Other than what Howdy said take the carburetor out and clean it real good.
