Not the shifter shaft. The base gasket..and it's a big leak. I can feel wind blowing out between the case and the cylinder. If I jam a rag over it, the rpms pick up and the back-pressure from that pipe is much crisper. Oh well, off comes the cylinder  . I'm glad it runs at least, and idles pretty smooth too. I was sure I would screw up something with carbs, petcock, timing etc... hey I'm a pencil-pusher! Clutch slips like heck - - got to adjust that Sytech release somewhat I suppose? |
