Got a 1999 Honda 130 that has become increasingly harder to shift gears over time. Have replaced and lubed the cables several times and that is not the issue. Have been told that there can be a corrosion issue with these motors where the cable/linkages go into the motor. To replace/fix this you need to remove the head. I have not done this yet as this will be quite labor intensive and expensive.
My current problem is when I first start up the motor sometimes, I get a loud squealing/screeching noise. If I shut down, then re-start the engine and move the engine in and out of gear it goes away after a few tries. After the engine has warmed up is goes away and no more noise, engine runs great. The problem seems to be getting worse.
Anyone have any idea what the problem may be?
