Anyone have the part number for the Starter O-Ring? I am getting some oil leaking and my dealer cannot seem to find the part number.

Check out My Page for a picture of it. (F650 FAQ says to replace each time you pull the starter. I may end up at the BMW dealer.)

(Anyone else run into this issue?)

I also have a leak at the counter sprocket - Thing is a bit messy after each trip.

 

i had to replace mine also, i did get it at the dealer but, they said it is a common o ring, that you can get a most auto parts stores. i saw the problem on mary narks quad also.

 

I have a big oil leak somewhere[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] I haven'nt had time to find it yet but its a bad one, so hopefully it will be easy to find, Also I think I need to chance my countersprocket baering also, can this be done from the outside???(please say yes)[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]



I now Roostinonyou has just replaced his starter O-ring. I will call him and ask what he did to fix it, and if he has a part#.

Jeff (I mean Mr. 830 [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] ) told me you can replace the counter sprocket seal from the outside [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

you can get the o-ring at the hardware store, if they carry metric rings. best not to try and use an inch ring in its place.
Bigger - I don't think you can swap that bearing without splitting cases.

 

Sorry to say this, but finally, someone has this damn problem besides me.

I've changed my o-ring a dozen times and haven't been able to get it to stop!

If you EVER find a solution PLEASE let me know what it is.

It's been leaking for over a year now![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]

Funny, we both have the same size piston!

Bigger, Don has changed my counter shaft seal twice now and has never had to split the cases. At least not for that!

 

[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img] Now how do you change it???

Hightower, I am SO glad your wrong this time.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Yea - common Al [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Did you get the O-ring from the dealer? (If so, do you have the part number? )

Thanks.

I'll have to take a look at my buddies DS. Hate to pull his starter out if he hasn't had an issue but, I would love to see if I can figure out why mine is leaking and his isn't.

 

when i did mine i niticed that the starter would go in real easy after the new o ring, it was real tight. if you can't find one i can run by the local shop and get one in the mail to you. they said it is a common part for ski-doo starters so if you see any water craft or snowmoblies there might be a spare part in the back.

 

hey wait a minute - you and I said BEARING - not seal....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]
