Clutch. Cable. Play.

Update! Thinking it might be my clutch slipping, I was reading through some other threads on here when I realized I had moved my clutch cable at the handlebar while checking other things with my bike. I went outside to check if I had put it back. I hadn't. Now its adjusted properly and runs great!!! Thank you guys for all your help. Also, after a day, the filter is letting gas though just fine on run, where it was slow before. Now I just have to fix an oil leak at the valve inspection caps and she'll be better than when I got her

This one looks similar to the Briggs and Straton fuel filter. These small engines do not have a fuel pump so unless that filter clogged up fast it should work. Also, take the fuel switch out of PRI. It can cause fuel to leak down into the engine if your needle should not seal perfectly causing all sorts of problems.

New problem. On a decent trip of about 35 miles to register for classes this fall, my clutch lever begins to ease back to the handlebar over about a minute give or take, then I have no clutch. I had to finish the trip with zero clutch which I can tell you got pretty crazy. Ideas? Seems like it might be the cluch push piece has worked its way unscrewed, but this should NOT happen right? I remember there being a lock nut which had to be tightened (which I did). Should I have used loctite in there? Too late to open her up today so for now it is a mystery which will likely have to wait until this weekend...

So I just went out and did it last night anyway. The lock nut had come off completely, but I found it with little effort. Cleaned it up along with the adjuster screw and loctite on both. Problem solved. Again.

It's amazing what problems little things like a lock nut can create - You'll be rollin' worry-free now.
