November 21, 201114 yr Hi All I have a 75 Cota 247 which on the whole runs very well.but smokes excessively ( even for a 70's twostroke). I am thinking that it could be a crankshaft oil seal? The reason I think so is because when i remove the spark plug and smell it I can smell gearbox oil. So...assuming it is a crankshft oil seal has anyone had first hand experience of replacing one? I assume the oil seal is on the clutch side? Do you require any specialised tools and is it something that could be done with a bit of mechanical knowledge.. Any comments would be most welcome Regards

Any comments would be most welcome Regards it does sound like it's pulling the gearbox oil through the seal. i did my 325 bulto crank seals years ago, and once you got the mag off one side and the primary drive off the other, it was just a matter of unbolting a small seal housing off the main cases and popping the new seals in. would think the monty would be a similar set up.
