September 17, 20205 yr Hi All My 79 Montesa 250 Enduro H6 is leaking oil from the kick starter. I have found the part number for the seal, but not sure how to replace it? Do I need to just take the side cover off, or split the whole main case? TIA
September 17, 20205 yr Hi, On a 348 engine, which is probably similiar in design the kick start shaft seal is the only one where you have to split the engine to replace it. I know this as I rebuilt my 348 engine and forgot to replace it so had to split the engine again!! Cheers Guy
September 17, 20205 yr Author Thanks Guy. That's what I thought. Found another issue.. should I just patch it or replace it? I'm wanting to patch it, even if I get 5 years out of it. This is the hole in my engine case caused from the kickstarted . As you can see, it has been patched before..
September 17, 20205 yr Yes that's also common, mine had the same hole wondered why it miss fired when wet... I patched mine with JB weld and I've had no further problems.
