RE: engine problem
Hey buddy. After reading your post i can think of two things that could be causing this problem. The first thing it could be is a hole in either your fuel line or your fuel pressure line. It may be squirting fuel out, throwing it on the clutch bell and making it aeem as if its coming from the clutch area. Check all of your fuel lines and fuel tank for any possible leaks. I would do that first. If everything there checks out fine, the second thing that could be causing this is a bad front bearning in the engine itself. The bearning im talking about is the one located directly behind the flywheel. These bearninga have been known to "spin" in the engine casing. If this happens, the seal between the bearning and casing can become unsealed and the pressurised engine case is pushing the fuel out of the weakest part of the engine, in this case would be spitting it out of that front bearing. This would make it seem as if the fuel was coming front the clutch as your described Either problem will cause a lean engine condition, starving the engine of fuel. Im sure it has been running hot as well due to this lean mixture. To change the front bearning is a simple job, i recommend using a heat gun to remove the old bearing. Also, to install the new bearning i would dreeze the new bearning to shrink the metal and put the engine case in the oven at 275 degrees. The new bearning will slide right in and when both pieces cool down to room temp, a nice strong seal will automatically be made between the new bearing and the existing engine case. Good luck with everything
