thats a good point speedway same as kx5zuki suggested,i had an issue with oil leak between the case halves before i pulled it apart,i have cured that now since the rebuild,the k5 does not have a gasket between the case halves which i learnt when pulled it apart and found that very odd but thats how they are meant to be so i used a decent case sealer and its cured the leak but it is a possibilty its leaking between the gearbox into the cylinder.
looks like i will be pulling it apart again and another rebuild :-(,i have an 87 engine i bought for spares anybody any idea if the cases are the same as the 88?maybe i will swop the case over and use them.
KX5Zuki:
The cases are different. Sorry. But if you want to get rid of the kickstart gear assembly let me know.

oh cheers for letting me know that,i bought the motor because i did some research and could see alot of the 87 88 bits are the same,so i am hanging onto the parts that are interchangeable :-P shame about the cases i knew they were diff part no but look pretty similar
thanks anyways

If you haven't torn the motor down yet I would do a leak down test. This will let you know if the seals and or the seal between the 2 inner cases is bad.CBX

hi cbx
no not pulled the motor apart yet,yes to do a leak test before i pull it apart this time might be a smart idea,forgive my lack of knowledge here but how do i perform a leak test ?
