Hi Chaps
I have my cb200, it's got just over 12000 miles.
It did run and ride when I first got it
It has sat idle for almost 16 years.
Clutch was stuck, so I had disassembled. Cleaned at the plates and reassembled.
Cleaned oil filter etc
New points,plugs etc
Engine starts and runs without issue
So I was ready to put on new front sprocket and new chain and was just going to adjust clutch first.
I have put on brand new clutch cable, definitely Honda OEM.
When I go to adjust, I get the idea that either there is something wrong with clutch OR the cable is too long.
I have adjusted the clutch actuator arm so that you can just feel resistance, but even when I have taken up all the cable slack with the adjustment screw on crankcase and even using the screw on the lever. There is absolutely no tension on the lever, so not able to disengage clutch.
Has anyone else experienced such an issue?
I am not sure where to go with this at the moment
Any suggestions would be appreciated
Thanks
David
