Never heard of one getting stuck in second gear. You will have to take the tranny apart and see why second gear is locked on the drive axle. Here is how to adjust the 2 speed if it won't shift into second though. There's a hole at the front of the small cog. Hold that cog still, then rotate the larger cog, you will see the bearing inside the small cog turning, keep turning until you see the adjust ment grub screw which you can adjust with a Allen key. Counterclockwise shortens the shift to second gear, clockwise holds first gear longer.


ORIGINAL: trinogt


I also found that I no longer have first gear in my tranny! It stays in second, so is gutless off the line. Anyone know how to cure this? I don't see any instructions on how to adjust the trans, or even what tool is used to do it.
I also pulled the start cord to the end, so now I have to rermove the engine and inspect the recoil. I would like to find a way to install a hex starting recess and get rid of the pull start.
