Rotax 500 Oil Leak
Posted: Sun Jun 07, 2009 7:00 pm
I finally tracked down a persistent oil leak on my Rotax 500 engine on my Saxon Country 500. It's coming from behind the chain sprocket on the engine. It's a pretty good leak and needs to be fixed. Do i maybe just need to tighten the sprocket nut? Is there any trick to this and does anyone know the torque spec for that nut? Or maybe do i need install a new seal behind the spocket where the shaft goes into the engine? Any suggestions appreciated...thanx
