Clone dripping oil

[jayden727]

So I took off my governor and, yes I plugged the hole underneath the gas tank. Its leaking oil like hell from the recoil side behind the fan somewhere. Any ideas please?? Its a brand new motor, hope I didnt ruin it!!

how did you remove the govna did you hit the lil ring on the shaft to hard.. casuing the case to break??

behind the fan somewhere

Meaning flywheel?
Sounds like seal was damaged.

 

[jayden727]

I went online to agk and did exactly what they put on there. I removed the side cover and took it off from there.

how did you get the lil ring off??
did you remove the flywheel??

 

[jayden727]

Sorry remember im just learning mechanics. What ring? You mean washer? I didnt have to take the flywheel off.

if you punched out the pin that holds the governor, you could have punched a hole in the crank case! if thats the case, you engine is screwed

 

[jayden727]

No hitting what so ever. It went pretty smooth, but obviously I F@#!%$ up somewhere.

 

[jayden727]

Im going to take the side cover off again and try to find the problem.

well if oil is spewing out of the pull start side of them clone, thats where the pin is so im guessing thats what you did unfortunately

Wrong, pin is on side and should slide right out after u remove the lever. No need to punch anything out.

 

[bajagokart]

ive never seen anyone "slide" that thing out! ever! ive always seen it punched out

BAJA we know what we are talking about LOL

how did you remove the lil snap ring on the shaft that holds the govna on.. if you PUNCHED/HIT or pry'd against that pin.. you could have damaged the block is what we were saying


or its maybe just a seal.. remove pullstart shroud and see where oil is seeping from

 

[jr dragster T]

The pin he is talking about is the one that the governer gear rides on. This is infact pressed into the block with some force by a machine. If you punched that right out of the block you will have a huge mess of oil behind the flywheel when the engine runs. The governer arm shaft is NOT pressed in place and is simple to remove. To me, I pressed out the governer gear shaft and governer arm shaft and tapped the holes and plugged them with thread sealent and a bolt.

 

[Kaptain Krunch]

Oh i thought he was talking about the governor arm shaft...the governor gear is still on the sidecover not the recoil side though right?

 

[jr dragster T]

Kaptain, On a clone the governer gear is in the back top left of the block on the recoil side as pictured. You can see where the gear used to be.

take engine throw it away and get a briggs or a bike engine.. simple fix no more chinese **** laying around leaking oil into the environment!

haha well said

Drill a hole in a almighty briggs/bike engine and see how it holds oil. Wait a minute, Briggs is now making there engines in Mexico/China and pretty well all bike engines are imports.

 

[freakboy]

i mean a older briggs smartie... but anyway if its made in china its **** but some import bikes well most arent made in china.....
