It does not run, that is, it does not want to idle. No problem, I think it will be in the carb area somewhere. Removing, cleaning and mounting it again will improve that I think.
Another problem is oil leakage. Near the head (and that may be a problem of some rubber plugs I think), but also through the oilseal (it seems) of the gear shift axis.
The one in the head is pretty common, just a few hours work to fix it.
The oil seal by the shifter? Sure?
Quote:Could anyone of you tell me if that problem can be solved without the removal of the engine from the frame? Maybe by drilling al tiny hole in the oilseal (is that the correct word for it?) and get it out and put the new replacement in? Or do I have to open the engine and remove it first?
Not sure about drilling holes in anything. Can you post a photo?
Quote:Thanks in advance.
Btw: My English is not so very good, so if I make any mistakes, sorry...
Your English is fine...we just need to figure out the names of the parts your are talking about
