86 marathon/no movement

methuenyankee · 01-02-2010, 08:24 AM

I have a 86 marathon i just picked up that was forgotten about for a long time. I did the usual things to get it up and running like clean fuel tank,new fuel lines,filter,new battery,clean carb, and a few issues with wiring. My question is I have cart rear wheels off the ground and I get no movement out of clutch and was wondering if because it was neglected and left outside for over 6 months to a year before i got it can the clutch somehow be frozen up, if so any ideas on freeing up. I also have another question about the oil mix, it has a tag on fuel tank that says its oil injected but i dont see a oil tank for oil mix. its a robin engine 2 cycle 1986. do I mix gas in fuel tank or get a oil tank that mixes on its own.

thank you for any help

Originally it had an oil tank but many of them were removed and then you need to mix your gas and oil... The clutch should not be effected by sitting outdoors for a year. If the motor is not running you do not have rpms enough to operate it..... good luck
