help help i need an answer

[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

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

[northmanuk]

no i got that its leaking around bottom of casing

[fabiostar]

start it to get a little heat in the casing then when it cools give it another little nip up.

When you levered it off, did you use a chisel or a blunt screwdriver?

[sirch345]

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,

re hammer chisel no lump hammer
i have just ordered another casing
do you know what the metal rod is for bottom left as you look at the stator

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.

I was trying to avoid the suggestion of taking off the casing then knocking the bike off it's sidestand...
