I've been wondering if I have a leaking flywheel-side crank case seal, from a number of things that are/have happened lately:
1. I siezed a motor last year, running at WOT. Couldn't work out why.
2. Had a 155 main in, and was getting a runnaway condition. Went to a 158 and had no further problem, but now my plug gets a bit wet and I get spooge from the pipe.
3. bike is now getting hard to start. 15-20 kicks, then it will start easily, but if I let it sit between moto's it won't start again
I have noticed the reeds don't sit flat, tried turning them over but they've been turned too often. Will this create hard starting?
Should a '96 bike have worn seals so soon?
When I got the bike two years ago, it had a lot of oily stuff behind the cover, but after i cleaned it out it seemed to stay dry.
BTW, '96 200, ported, rad valve, 158/45, standard needle
Opinions, anyone??
