Status: offline 		yes cleaned them the both.
so will the mutunt/tsunami handle the power of my new os 18?
and would it handle the power of a bigger motor like a .26?

Status: offline 		you take the backplate off, you should see a gasket there, either it was loose or you can put some gasket silicone on it and put it back together, dont put alot, just a little to make a good seal.

Status: offline 		ok i see what you are talking about.thats the wrong spot.im talking about the shaft that goes though the center of the back plate and out to the recoil.it almost looks like there is a grove in the shaft for a o-ring or some type of seal. should there be any type of seal there on the shaft?

yes it is, put a few drops of after run oil in it, leave the plug out and pull it for a minute or so, get it worked in a little. then try to start it. also make sure the engine in warm so keep it in the house before you go out and try to start it.

Status: offline 		nope, no stell spur gears, usually if the mesh is good and you have the steel clutch bell, the spurs last a long time. put a magnet on your clutch bell, if it sticks, its steel.
