80 tomos A3. I broke something but not sure what

I pulled the cover off the clutch side of the engine see how the clutch was looking. Things looked good but after reassembly the engine will so in the wheels with it on the center stand but when back on the ground any wheel resistance kills it. If I rev it a bit it almost feels like a lurch once in a while but not enough to get moving. There were some thin washers that fell out. I put two larger ones back on the pedal shaft and the tiny one on the middle shaft. There didn’t appear to washers on the clutch shaft.

Any ideas..?

Thanks. I seem to remember reading about someone with a similar issue a while back but searching wasn’t coming up with anything.

i guess take it apart again and continue reading. hard to explain but when the cover slides on right it feels right.

He's saying it wont spin the wheel on the center stand now since all the shims fell out of the engine when he removed the side cover. Sounds like to me, that the shims were not put back in correctly and its in a bind now. Not good, do not ride.

When you are reassembling the case take the clutch and rotated back and forth while pushing the pedal shaft towards the stator side when it's in in right it will actually drop and you'll feel it will clunk and the case Will Go On super easy make sure that the can opener like thingy for the kickstarter is in The Hourglass shaped hole and when you put it together make sure it stays there do not rotate the pedals at all do not let the flywheel move

Check for spark before you start blaming the carb and make sure you have fuel flow from the petcock and the gas cap is venting.

The inlet to the floatpin is or is easily clogging from banjo to jet. Sometimes it is a bad bump bad gas the ethanol in the gas got hydrated soaked up lime from when they clean the tankers and forms a white deposit on your carb's private bits...

Check the killswitch. Electrical harness a serious fault will drain the system and the wiring in the tail fender will Frey after a few years of scrap flowing through.

Thanks for everyone’s help. I seem to be narrowing it down, I pulled the carb off again and cleaned it again. Ran some wires though all then holes and channels again. I put in another jet I had a side up.

Started it with chock on. As soon as I turn off the chock the bike revs up really fast. Doesn’t seem to be effected by the throttle cable, no obstruction there and easily moves. I tapped the float bowl and it maybe helped?

It seems like I’m fussing with the carb too much. Is there a better one that drops in place?

If it's revving to high heaven it's a air leak and it's probably in your intake if not it can be where it joins with the carb otherwise it's in your case
