Hole appeared in casing via stator plate bolt!!!!

[alanscottj]

Decided to give my engine a once over while having some work done on cylinder. Whilst cleaning inside the crank case mouth I noticed a little hole. Figured the direction it was coming from was stator side so took one of the bolts off the stator plate and Sure enough a hole goes right through!

It's been welded before and obviously not very well. Get it welded and ground back again.

Not to my knowledge it hasn't mate, bought it brand new

Looked like some welding work in the corner, and some rough arsed grinding, but regardless the remedy is the same

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.

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.

Get some isopropyl and give it a good scrub through. Is the stator bolt the right length?

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 in

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".
