Posted August 3, 200816 yr I looked thru the search options and didn't find my answer. Problem is I can not engage the clutch . Start it in nuetral with clutch handle pulled in, Put in 1st, kills the engine . Naturally I tried the cable adjust with no luck. For the clutch adjustment, the book says loosen the lock nut and etc. I can't loosen the lock nut because it feels spring loaded . I hesitate to force the nut too much against the spring resistance thinking I'll hear a loud BOING and then have bigger problems. ??????
