Are you sure it's not an Oiltek conversion? Rough welding blow holes etc, but to be fair I'd just clean, degrease and fill with something like JB weld if that's the only hole.fluff34567 wrote:Looked like some welding work in the corner, and some rough arsed grinding, but regardless the remedy is the same
No, definitely not a conversion. Was just having a google about JB Weld - tempted to put some in from the stator hole side and put the stator bolt back in. It obviously seals when the bolt was in there as I have recently done a leak down test and it was air tight.Scooterdude wrote:Are you sure it's not an Oiltek conversion?

Will do..The bolts should be the right length as they were bought as a proper set of stator bolts from a scooter shop and can only go so far influff34567 wrote:Get some isopropyl and give it a good scrub through. Is the stator bolt the right length?
Well that's probably your problem, in my short time in the world of scooters (but a lifetime in mechanical engineering) I increasingly find its far better to rely on you're better judgement than to rely on some stranger on the end of a phone in a "scooter shop".alanscottj wrote:bought as a proper set of stator bolts from a scooter shopfluff34567 wrote:Get some isopropyl and give it a good scrub through.
