I just got a 84 Honda ATC 125.
It was used without the clutch releasing,they were just jamming it into gear.
If you let off of the throttle it didn't coast,it was engine braking. I got it for $100.00,its in great shape, good tires and starts first pull.
When you shift into1st gear you can hear the load on the engine,When you rev it up it starts to go forward then it seems its slipping. When I got off it in gear it it pulled it self across the driveway. It rolls freely in neutral.
Thanks to anyone who can help.
I'm old enough now to learn from other peoples mistakes,I no longer feel a need to make them all myself.
