JCL MP250A: Starter Turns But Doesn't Engage By bob123456789 (Read 3,056 times)

[bob123456789]

I was able to remove the nut and the allen screws using an impact wrench.

I have ordered the following:
1) Starter clutch from Ebay (49 teeth) www.ebay.com/itm/281197903530

2) A right side engine gsket for a Linhai 257 cc. absolutelyscooterparts.net/catalog/linhai-right-crankcase-cover-gasket-p-1089.html

Thanks for your help with this Alley.

Glad to be of help Bob, lets hope that is all that this scoot needs and you can go riding and get out of the garage.

Alley.

I am waiting on the parts to arrive.

I have removed the old starter clutch and flywheel. I have cleaned the gasket faces on both the block and the cover good. I have picked out all the metal debris from the starter clutch that I can see. I have used a magnet everywhere I can reach to pick up the metal pieces. I have washed the side of the block and the cover/stator good with gas. After it is back together I plan to change the oil twice to try to remove any metal pieces from the starter clutch.

Is there anything else I can do to ensure that metal pieces from my broken starter clutch doesn't cause damage to the rest of the engine?

[Alleyoop]

No that is about it. if any small pieces got into the passage they would wind up in the filter before going into the crankcase.

There is no filter.

Is there a magnetic plug that fits this engine?

[Alleyoop]

Yes there is you just do not know where it is:

Alleyoop
IT IS JUST A THUMB MESH FILTER but it does trap stuff from getting into the crankcase and up the head. If you do not see one on the side like in the picture LOOK UNDERNEATH it will be in one of the two places.

[bob123456789]

I'll look for the screen plug.

Have you ever seen a magnetic drain plug for this engine?

[Alleyoop]

I found this they have them for all kinds of rides scroll down and see all the scoots and bikes.

[bob123456789]

Thanks Alley.

I have emailed them to see if they have one for my scoot.

[bob123456789]

So I cleaned the gasket faces with a pastic scrapper and gas to ensure all the old pieces were gone. I put everything back together with a new gasket.

My starter is turning the engine over correctly.

Now when I put new oil in the crankcase I am still getting a little bit of oil leaking along the bottom of the cover. Everything is aluminum so I am reluctant tighten things any more.

Any ideas how I can make this seal good?

[Alleyoop]

Put a little bit of RTV let it set for a while.

[bob123456789]

Thank you sir.

I haven't heard of RTV before. What is it and how do I use it?

[bob123456789]

Use it in addition to the gasket or in place of it?

[Alleyoop]

in addition it will fill in the dips or imperfections in the surfaces.
