I posted this in the repair section and haven’t received a response yet:
My starter wouldn’t turn over so when I got to the part of taking off the recoil housing, 2 stroke oil just gushed out of it. The leak filled the starter also. The counterbalance, trans and coolant levels are fine.
Would just changing the outside oil seal #44 fix the issue or would the inside one have to be changed as well? It looks like much work would have to be done for the inside one. The engine is running and starting fine. I have not done a compression or leak down test but there is a lot of compression when pull starting.
