Hi

I got another LT50 a few days ago, I didn't hear it running when I got it as it had been laying a while and wanted to change the fuel etc before trying

I cleaned the carb, new plug, compression is at 80psi which I've read is OK for one of these

It will start with easy start but I don't like using that stuff

Any ideas? Cheers

 

I don't consider 80 comp good.

 

I was reading the gauge wrong sorry its at 120psi I was looking at bar lol

 

Turns out the left crankcase is away smoke coming from the pullstart rope hole

Rip

 

Is it possible to change the seal without splitting the crankcase?

Thanks

 

Yes. The seals are on the outside of the case.
Usually under the clutch and flywheel.
Pry them out and tap them in.
I apply a film of grease on the seals.

 

Thanks, for the price of them I may aswell see of this problem sorts it, I have the symptoms of LH seal leaking with the smoke from the pullstart area

Ill let u know how I get on thanks

 

Well I found the problem or A problem at least the crank seal was hanging on the shaft completely out its hole, will need to see if a new one makes a difference

Thanks
