help help i need an answer

Post by northmanuk »

i have tried twice to seal the generator side casing both times using a new gasket this is what ive done

clean both faces of joint making sure no bits of gasket are left
fit gasket over spigots
tighten bolts
fill engine with new 4 l of oil
start engine after a few mins oil comes out
repeat above cost 51.00

i have checked the crank casing and the gen case no visible damage :wtf:

are you missing the rubber grommet that seals the 3 yellow alternator wires into the casing? or is it not seating correctly?

When you levered it off, did you use a chisel or a blunt screwdriver?
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

May be there is a hairline crack in the alternator casing?
If you have a spare from the old engine it could be worth trying that,

Do you mean the spindle for the starter gear :?:

As pointed out with a screwdriver in Mac's photo below:

That spindle can only be removed with a magnet.
