PatMc Posted May 9 Report Share Posted May 9 Evening all Hope your all keeping well . Bit of an issue with the above mentioned bike . Just did a top end rebuild on this bike bike , all went well or so I thought . It ran fine the first time I kicked it over . Tried again today and while it did run it stopped and seem like a heap of pressure was built up in kickstart. Whipped the plug out and noticed there was coolant there , not much I might add. Took the head off and the two o-rings were damaged. Also noticed that at the spot where the o-rings were damaged , the respective screws in the barrel were loose. Before I start ripping and tearing at it any more if there anything I might have missed to cause this or is it a simple case where I may have got bad o-rings Any help would be great Cheers Paddy McDonald Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted May 9 Report Share Posted May 9 I would say they moved out of place during installation. Try again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lineaway Posted May 10 Report Share Posted May 10 I always used a little grease to hold them in place. Good Luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted May 10 Report Share Posted May 10 P.S. the 2001 Gasser was the best bike they made from a reliablity view point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
