Thanks, but I think I have the manual at home in the fourwheeler

Tonight I pulled the plug off the bottom of the recoil housing and drained out the oil, it seemed pretty watery.

That brings me to another question. Why is there even a drain plug there? Is it there just in case of a water crossing and it gets water in there?

I just talked with the service manager at the local dealer

He says there is a gasket and a o-ring in there that could be leaking.

$40 for parts including oil to refill or $160 total if he does it.

Not sure which way I am leaning yet.

Just do it yourself.Then you know it done and done right.Unless it still has warenty,then let them do it..Simple

That's what I'm leaning towards right now

I need to pick up some more Torx bits to remove the floorboard and then I'll start tearing it apart.

does anyone know what the thread/pitch is in the 3 bolts in the flywheel?

I need to pick up some bolts today so I can use my puller and get the flywheel off.

I have changed both seals and changed the oil and filter.

I'm ready to go riding and see if it's all better now.

did you fix the leaking oil into recoil?

He hasn't posted anywhere on the forum in 8 years and may not be here any longer. Sometimes a lurker can surprise you but most of the time if they go that many years without posting they're gone for good.
