Hi ,
I have a lick at the kickstart shaft.
I did a bit of research on this forum and now know that I can replace kickstart oil seal without removing gearbox casing........however ever, how do i remove the housing for the oil seal? I have attached a picture highlighting what I assume is the oil seal housing.
Regards
Brian
That is the kickstart shaft bush. there is no oil seal.
Ok Thanks,
Do I need to change the bush to stop leak?
Regards Brian
It is a poor design but a new Bush should either stop the leak or greatly reduce it. Make sure you don't over fill the box.
Thanks all once again
Brian
I wonder if a heavy-duty calcium marine/water pump grease might help slow down the leak if it was carefully packed in. I thought about trying it recently when I had a leaky kickstart seal. Luckily I bought a new seal and it tapped in nicely after the seal had been in the freezer and the case had a good warm over with a heat gun.
Hi thanks for reply.
My model has a bush rather than a seal. So probably will have to replace the bush.
Cheers
Brian
