Default Any Welders out there?

Thx again to all who replied. We should be takin the quad to a welder today to see if he can weld it while its still together, if not.. guess i'm taken the engine out. The plastic, carb, airbox, and gas tank are already off.

Has the damage created a leak in the case?

Or is this just for cosmetic purposes?

What is the case made out of? cast iron, pot metal, or aluminum.

If this is just for cosmetic purposes and doesn't affect the ridability of the bike you might want to re-think on what your doing.

Unless you have connections, it could cost you depending on what the going shop rate is in your area.

My banshee has the exact same break and as long as it doesn't affect the riding I'm just going to leave it alone.

I am a welder by trade so I do know some things about this.

If your going to try and get it fixed I would suggest that you tear the engine down and then have it welded. Better not to take any chances.

You don't want to get it done and then find out it might have done something to the internal parts or maybe even the seals.
I think it is worth takeing the motor apart and fixing it
i lerned to weld when i was 10 and have a lot of experiance welding from building my 67 camaro
if you dont fix it, it could lead to problems down the road (lerned this the hard way)
