Ok. Didn't think about it, til after most back together. Got new starter clutch back in. Got case, stator back on.
At this point, before put back rest together, started it up.
Fired up pretty good. And clutch seems to be working good.
The fan and plastic is not on yet.
Ok this thing got hot quick. Within 5 mins or less, sitting at idle, was reaching 250. On a cool afternoon.
Don't think ever got that hot, just at idle.
#1..Does the fan and plastic help keep that cool?
Or this something else?
#2.. not sure, might be small oil leak, or could be just oil left over from all oil i used around and in engine while case open to flush out all the metal shards.
However, bought new seals, but didn't use any gasket seal. Just put on gasket. Didn't look like any seal used when took it apart. Should I go back in and use gasket seal on the case?
And on the case bolts, should I use lock tite? Saw one video, said you should. Or is that over kill??
Just want to make to get right, before put all back together.
Thanks.
