Hey everyone... Trying to restore a 50cc Jonway I picked .... I am pretty sure the oil is oooooold. When taking the oil drain off, the whole thing sheared clean. No threads came out and now I have just the drain cover portion that has the nut head.
Question time!!!!
Do I now need to replace the block? Is there a way to remove the threaded part out???
Ignore the poll.... It would not let me post without creating one......

Your local plumbing supply house might have nipple extractors they are used to remove broken peices of pipe from fittings. Soak it for a long time with wd40 or kroil before attempting to remove it again.Or you might find a big enough easy-out

I prefer PB Blaster to Kroil or WD-40. All the good marine mechanics carry a can in their tool boxes. Great penetrant.

That's your opinion,and you're entitled to it.As the name states, I am constantly on the (salt) water,along with all my equipment, and I find PB blaster to be inferior to the others ;D different strokes  |
