Got the new throttle cable in the mail, rides great! Took it out for a 8 mile ride going 45-50mph and was thrilled when I turned it off and found no leaks!
Thank you all for your help! Seriously, everyone has saved me so much time and money and I actually learned a thing or two about how to use a gear puller.

So how exactly is the gear put on? Is it a glue, or actually screwed on? Will it just pop-off, or does it need to be unscrewed?
I don't know much about this, but found a few old threads on other forums on this procedure.

it's still leaking oil... might have punched a hole through the seal... now I have no choice but to take the gear off..

I can't seem to get a good grip infront of the seal! there's no gap between the seal and the gear.
I'll try one more time. probably doesn't help that it's 20 degrees haha i might just bring the scooter inside
EDIT: Butter knife is working.. Will let you know when I'm done with the whole seal!

You do not know if it was put in deep enough in the first place. If you don't want to try it by all means don't, you have nothing to loose right? It will either seal or not seal. Alleyoop I can't get a screw driver or anything in there because of that gear, even when I remove the clutch assembly. there isn't enough room. I'll have to take the gear off :/ What tool is that to remove the gear? thank you |

Great!! Now you know it is the Crank Oil Seal that is leaking. Now I noticed that the SEAL is sticking out quite a bit, before you go and buy a gear puller get a screwdriver and push the seal back in. The crank gets thicker further in and the seal is on the thinning part of the crank. So pushing it back in might seal it. Then start it up again and see if it still leaks if it does then you will have to tear it apart and put in a new seal. Alleyoop If I just push it back won't it just come right back out? For the horn question in your earlier posts, it is most likely the horn itself, I believe they die fairly commonly. The horn is usually in the front behind the headlights somewhere. Pull the wire off the horn and put a multimeter between that wire and ground (battery negative). Turn the switch on and press the horn switch. If you have voltage then it is the horn itself or your horn isn't getting a good ground. If you don't have voltage then it is somewhere upstream like a switch etc. If it looks like the horn itself is bad you can do one last check by running a jumper wire from the battery to the input of the horn to see if it goes off like that. If it is bad you can just go to a parts store and buy a replacement horn and put it in. A replacement horn might be just a touch bigger but you should be able to bend the bracket it is on to make it fit. Will try it out and let you know, thank you! |
