Clone dripping oil

[jr dragster T]

Well most bike motors like Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha ect are all Japanese but to you there probably all the same. So a older briggs will hold oil with a 1/4" hole in the block?

Lol good luck mate. I haven't removed gov so I can't help

 

[devino246]

Wow that sucks. I just came in from removing the gov on my clone. Your scaring the S*#T out of me now

lol my briggs holds oil with a 2 inch hole in it so i dont see why not lol....

i want a picture of that ^^^^^^^^^

as for the leak, chances are you might have popped something, just calm down and LOOK. there is no reason other than your own for mistakes made out of haste. pull the cover then poke around with a light inside the block if its taken apart, any light escaping is a hole that needs sealing.

jb weld worked tho.... but did you pop the shaft out that the gov gear rides on and forget to plug that hole good?

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.

The Japanese make the best motorcycles.

Is there ant chance that while the crankshaft was only supported on one end, it ate, mauled, or otherwise disturbed the oil seal on the recoil end of the crank?

 

[Russ2251]

Highly unlikely.

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!

Freakboy, if your going to say things like that, don't bother replying. He wants to know how to fix his engine, not what you think of his engine. Your opinions are not needed here.

As for the oil leak, could we please have some pictures? It may help as there seems to be some confusion about various things.

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.

thats what i was talking about lol not the governor arm but the shaft it sits on lol

Thanks to everyone EXCEPT for freakboy's sarcastics remarks!! The problem was I didnt know I had to plug the hole that the pin comes out of (behind flywheel). I did plug the top where the lever was. Its fixed now. THANKS YALL!!

 

[Doc Sprocket]

Good. Glad to hear it was a simple fix. Nothing worse than fiddling with something and then falling under the impression you f**ked up something critical in the process!!!

Good job!!
