alright so today we are going to be getting underneath the bike and finding out where I have the leak
we're going to go ahead and jack this bike up take a look at that and go from there
alright so you see that leak right there
and that's coming from up here
you can't really see it right now cause the engine is cold and it's not running
we'll let it run for a while and see if we can try to get it to leak again
it's actually that plug right there
its leaking
so let's take off this wire tie
alright so now i can move those two wires out of the way
and we're gonna see if we can pull this plug out a little bit without
pretty much fucking things up
you're gonna slide it out as far as you can get it it's a tight spot in here
and your gonna spray some carburetor and choke cleaner right on that rubber
and that's gonna swell up that rubber
once it gets that rubber to swell
it'll ah seal back up
good as new
I'm happy with that
as you can see it is not leaking
pretty good
I'm thinking a little RTV inside that plug area will help make it a better repair
a little bit of silicone right in between there
now what I am going to do is I'm going to use a screwdriver
put the silicone on the screwdriver and get it in between there without making a big mess on the motor itself
what I'm going to be using here is permatex ultra black advance formula maximum oil resistance gasket maker
so you can see I have the silicone on the screwdriver and we're gonna work it into this hole
with that silicone it should give it that extra protection that I need to get this through at least one more season
before I replace that stator cause the only way to get that plug is to replace the entire stator
but I think that's going to hold just fine like I said it wasn't leaking before and it's just something I decided to add to ah make sure it doesn't leak the rest of the season
and then this winter time I'll probably go ahead and rip this apart and put a new stator in
there is a o-ring fix for this but I'm not willing to try it cause I'm not willing to take apart the whole primary and stuff like that
so that's it now the only thing I got left to do now is check my primary oil
one last thing before I go here
is this wire that comes from the stator inside
check this wire here
this clamp down underneath here can be too tight
and it can cause added tension on that grommet
if this is too tight
there is not a whole lot of slack if this clamp is pushed down to far
so what you want to do is loosen this up a little bit right by simply pulling it up
that's all there is to it it's just a metal clamp that you can actually push down on the wire and it actually stays there
push it up give this wire a little more slack and hopefully that will prevent that grommet from leaking sooner than it should
so their you have it it wasn't the bolt that was leaking it was the rubber seal
for the stator wire going inside the motor there on the lower case
I learned over the years with rubber you can actually get it to expand a bit by using carburetor cleaner
as far as the videos go look
I'm not a video guy
I'm more of a hands on do it yourself kind of guy
I'm doing the best I can with videos
when i do a repair job or something like that
ya I want to record it I want to get the information out there
but I'm not thinking video quality
hopefully over time it will get better
I mean I am still new at this
I appreciate everybody hanging in there with me or whatever
alright you all take care
god bless
I wish you all the best day possible
bye bye
