F2s mechanical?  I remember we had to put it in oil and pump it up.  Nothing exteral to work with.  Don't know.  I know they failed.

The Suzuki...what do you call it.  I think the hydraulic part is only to initially tension it, then the mechanical teeth take over from there.  The teeth strip.  That's the problem there.  Had one let loose just enough, but I was able to cut up an allen wrench to put inside to make sure that the racheting mechanism stayed put.  Was good enough to win a team challenge race last year and some other weekends until we got the manual one.

And everyone says two-strokes are high maintenance :).  You may also want to run a compression check on the cylinders as this may indicate a slightly bent valve or some other sort of problem.  Other than that, I hope whatever it is is a simple and inexpensive fix for you.
