Greetings all!
I have been refurbishing a 185s scrap yard save. Starts, runs and shifts. Yay! However, is is leaking a significant amount of oil that appears to be coming out around the sprocket shaft (when you roll to a stop for a minute or two, there will be a couple of tablespoons of oil on the ground). I cleaned that area good and rode it several minutes and it looks to be coming from there (no holes in the case etc.) The good news is that it keeps my chain oiled, the bad new is that it keeps my chain oiled.. ;)
Anyway, I have not pulled the sprocket off to get a good look at it yet, but I am wondering, is this a pull the engine and split the case kind of repair (beyond my abilities) or is there some kind of shim or seal I can replace from the outside behind that sprocket on that shaft?
Thanks!
