welllll....I did as suggested and after a trying time getting out the carb (definitely had to pull battery box to make room), I replaced the float and cleaned up the carb.
Changed oil and filter aggressively, new plug, filter and put her back together.
She ran great for about 15 or so miles....then....MASSIVE oil leak. Rotella all over my rear wheel and muffler...bad.
Now, I've had a slight oil leak problem after I did the cam chain tensioner and actually replaced the clutch cover gasket TWICE. (leaked after the first time).
So what do I do now...Did the gas in my oil in the crankcase destroy this gasket causing it to leak so bad now?
Should I just get a new gasket and change the oil ?
Will this likely work or are there other things I need to fix also?
or...
Should I set in on fire and curse the day I bought it?
Help, guys, I am seriously at my wits end with this bike. Seems like the more I fix on it the worse it gets.
