Angry Good luck

Yea normally I am kind of a lucky guy!!!
But!!! I figured before riding season im going to pull my Inner primary off and fix a couple oil leaks!!
Well what a time to put on a nice shiny chrome inner!!!
Well for 300.00 nah LSHD 235.00 shipped !!! maybe
So I go to a local swap meet find a "Mint condition used one"
look it over looks good 125.00

first ride today after all back together!!
Hmm looks like a leak, well after inner primary back off find a hair line crack in the bottom close to one of the bolt holes !!!

lesson learned My first and only time ever to buy from swap meet!!!

You can still get pretty good deals at swap meets, just check everything over real good before you buy.

It may work I don't think there is much pressure if any in the primary. I think the oil is just to lube the chain and clutch by splash anyway.

J B Weld is pretty good sh*t if it is cleaned and cured right. Good luck, hope it holds up!
