itstommmm Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 (edited) after kicking my bike over to try and start it for 5 minutes, i gave up, turned petrol off and then noticed gearbox oil on sump guard under clutch cover. the washer that goes under the head of the bolt that holds kickstart in is cracked in half but that wont cause leak will it?

sirdabalot Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 I doubt it. Clean engine and search for leak. Is it oil, or is it oil/petrol mix residue from carb. Did you find out if the engine was flooded with petrol? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itstommmm Posted April 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 *UPDATE* The o ring seal on the clutch cover has broke in half and thats where oil was coming from. New O Ring on the way now. Then just to figure out why the pig wont start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
