You had better get that to service and not try to repair it yourself. I am betting you will be
walking rather than riding soon.

im kind of low on money at the moment to spend on my quad so i was wondering how much it would cost to have it fixed and there is nothing i can put there to try and seal it?

sorry the crack runs in line with the starter and is about half the size of the starter. i will try and take a pic of it as soon as possible.

JB weld can be picked up at a parts store for under 5 bucks..Its basically a resin based epoxy that sets up hard as hell..
