Crank seal question
I have read the few posts i could find on how to do crank seals.
Question, if i dont have the clutch puller, can i use the water method like on a snowmobile? Anyone done this and know the thread and size of bolt needed? |

Re: Crank seal question
Don't know. Clutch puller worked awesome and I found mine on Ebay for $26.

Re: Crank seal question
I got the fan side done, super easy. Had to make a puller out of a pair of vice grips to yank the seal out.
Cant get the clutch off that side. |

Re: Crank seal question
There is a thin spring under the exhaust manifold, looks like there is a vertical shaft going up into exhaust, the spring is loose and hanging. There is also a ball stud, for a control lever, but nothing on it. What position should this be in?

Re: Crank seal question
Clutch puller should be here in another day. I couldnt find a 14mm 1 pitch bolt anywhere.

Re: Crank seal question
You did the right thing by purchasing a puller. 14 MM x 1 MM pitch is the correct thread and I also found out that it is an impossible thread size to find in stock. I even had a machine shop quote me some bolts made special but the economics weren't right. RAY

Re: Crank seal question
Got the clutch off, replaced the seal, the lip and spring were no longer attached! Buttoned it back up. Runs like a tame normal golf cart, sounds quiet. No more speed demon.......darnit!

Re: Crank seal question
Yeah, but, at least you arent killing it anymore. I've seen lean 2-strokes spitting out glowing pieces of spark plug ceramic (that has to be really, really hot).

Re: Crank seal question
Something didnt seem right, not enough power.
So, i fooled around and remembered the exhaust butterfly valve. Mine was disabled and held over with a spring. I disconnected that spring when i loosened the starter. So, fooled with it tonight, found out which was is open, and used a spring to hold it open. Power is much better, no rippin high speed, but i dont need to break my neck. |
