I cant move my gs450

[Guest]

I have a non running gs450. When i got it we could roll it. Now im trying to roll it into the garage and its acting like its in gear. It barely will budge. I dont know if i accidentally did something. Help. Sorry for being a newbie

work out when you push it is the tension on the chain, if yes then yeh maybe you knocked it into gear, if not, brakes are binding?

Its in the grass and its raining. Dont worry its covered. Lol. But the brakes seem fine but it is almost making a noise like its in geae or something. I slid it like 5 feet through the grass haha

How could i get it out of gear without a power source?

rock it back n forth pull the clutch in and just keep looking for neutral...its there somewhere if not repeat and repeat

It worked! Thanks paul you saved me a long day of tears!

Next time you don't need the clutch, it does nothing in this case. Just rock it back and forth and move the shifter.

Let me know if you can view that or not.
It looks like that nut needs to be removed. I have no tool yet that can reach

Got the throttle just need to get the choke off. Looks difficult.

It's got to be a matter of figureing out howit's supposed to work. I can't see through the grunge in the pic, is that the choke cable?

That was the throttle and i got it like how you said. Here is the choke: http://instagram.com/p/hhmADsRsSz/

In reference, the engine is on the left. Thats the throttle mechanism. Hope that helps more

Take that brass colored plate that holds the cable off by removing the screws. they are the same screws that hold the vacuum diaphragm cover on the top of the carburetor. Once it's gone you will see how to remove the cable from the choke. I think it's similar to the throttle, not sure.

OK, that is the type where the cable slides the rod laterally to activate the choke. I think you slide the choke rod without pulling the cable and it gets slack, then it just wiggles out.

The cable is threaded through a pinhole on the manifold with a fat butt end

Do you have something other than Instagram to share your pictures?

Evidently you have to have an account to see the ones that you already posted.
