200E Case Splitting Question...
While in the process of working on my own 200 project a friend mentioned he has a 200E with a cracked left crankcase, its broken near the output shaft and i am guess someone wrapped up a chain pretty badly on it! Anyway, he asked since i am tearing one down if i would fix his but i really don't have a ton of time and its been 20 plus years since i split a bottom end on these...
So quick refresher... Can't you remove the left crankcase without touching the right side? I seem to recall you could pull off the top end, then its 8 bolts from the left and one from the right near the jug base and then you can pull off the left case without disturbing the clutches and opening up the right side at all. If thats the case, no pun intended, i could get his left case swapped out quickly, thankfully he has already pulled the motor, pulled off the top end, but just not brave enough to replace the case side and i got enough on my plate lately to spend a day tearing apart the right side on another motor and case splitting.
Comments?? I'm sure someone on here has done a left case swap quick and dirty before.
