Monty4T Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 Fantic 200 Minarelli. Have a slight oil leak from where the small push rod enters the caseing. Understand there's an O ring on that rod, and want to change it and hopefully stop the leak. Problem I have is I can not get the rod out. Can get it to poke its noise out with a magnet then grab it with some small pliers but can't get it out. Am I not trying hard enough, or have I missed something? Thanks.

fantic303 Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 Remove the clutch cover and pressure-plate. Push the rod, the small push rod with O-ring will come out on the other side. normally it is always possible to get the small rod out without removing clutch cover. Perhaps you are missing the ball between the two rods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave8 Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 Hi got the same leak on my bike. Checked and the rods been replaced with a rod with no o ring...no the wonder its leaking. I've sourced one with 2 o rings, problem though they are from Italy 🤔 The parts are about 12 euro, delivery etc total 37 euro....24 GBP for delivery 🤮 £34 all in. See attached what they look like.

Monty4T Posted October 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 I just bought a box of various size oil proof O rings from ebay. How much oil you putting in the gearbox, I was filling to the level screw, about 1.4L, but was recommended 900cc - 1L was enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave8 Posted October 4, 2022 Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 When I refill it I'll just take it to that level screw....is that really 1.4L, I always thought the fill was around about a litre 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty4T Posted October 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 I no longer have my 200 so I cant check for you, but if you are putting about 1L in that's ok. If your not already on it, get on Cost Optimised Fantic restorations on Facebook, great help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
