Default Rest in piece..

my poor savage engine died. It leaks oil, ya know were the crankshaft goes through the backplate, and into the one way bearing, well it leaks through there. Which causes the one way to slip making it impossible to start. thou on the brighter side, i will probably pick up a SH.28 or a Picco .26. What one?

the oil that gets on the nut leaks thew the pull start shaft one, threw the sides of the shaft. since it is a bushing not a bearing it will wear down and the hole gets bigger

i think the best way to stop this from happenig is to snug an o-ring on the shaft between the backplate and the one-way
try it and tell me what you think.

thanks.
