gas spraying from cylinder gasket

[davidwjacob]

Well,

Looks like im spraying some gas from the cylinder gastket. This is what is keeping me from starting. my plug is dry.

You can kind of see the mist in 2 videos i have here:

very hard to see https://goo.gl/photos/NonUcAPJTAaz4iGh8

looks like im gonna have to pull the motor.

Is there any way to get top end off without pulling the motor completely out?

i guess ill find out :)

ill update once i get the parts and post pics of the progress.

Thanks
Dave

Looks like a 3pg cart. Should be able to do it in place, but why? Them engines can be pulled out in less than an hour. Much easier working on the bench.

A leak in the crankcase will definitely hinder the cylinder pumping ability. The base gasket is usually a thin paper type gasket. If you are going in that far, I would just pull the motor and go for a full rebuild.
