Water leak .. am i screwed?

[Dski]

i just picked up this x2 yesterday.. runs excellent! 150psi in each cylinder.. BUT, the platic screw-in cap on the flywheel cover was cracked and water obviously got into the flywheel compartment.. Is there a way to check if the stator is good without running it till battery dies?

Also, do you think water could have gotten into the crank area?
what do you guys think i should do?

Thanks

Take the flywheel off (good luck) & spray out the whole front with carb cleaner, stator too, and wipe it as clean as possible. Soak the bendix in automatic transmission fluid overnight & then let drain out for a day.
Water should not have gotten into the crank area if the front seal is in place and still good looking. mine has looked almost that bad before and it all still survived. :biggthumpup:

Sorry, don't know the specs to test the stator. I think there was a recent thread in the old school/vintage section about 650 stators and testing them.

ok im gonna take it apart tonight.. hopfully i can figure out whats going on with it.

i found these electrical specs posted on PWCT:

holy ********... my friend and i tried getting pulling the flywheel tongiht and the puller wont even budge it.... any suggestions on how i might get it off?...

 

[Freestyleriverrat]

Pneumatic impact wrench. That should take the bolt off no problem. Then use a flywheel puller and the impact wrench. I always grease the tip so it spins smoothly w/o digging into the flywheel. It is with the wrench, then tap it with a rubber mallot. It is best to do it on the floor b/c it will pop off.

 

[Mike W]

Tip: Find a small socket (12mm i think)and put it in the center bolt hole. About 1/2" of the socket sticks out. Thats what the puller will damage instead of the crank. Does that make since???

 

[WAB]

Hmm, I've always just loosened the flywheel's bolt and let the puller push against that bolt. :shrug:
A big breaker bar is your friend if you can't use an impact.

 

[Project Ski]

how can you stop the motor from spinning? Can you use the rope in the cylinder trick or can you bend a rod that way? Im doing the same thing. Feels like a ton of force being applied

 

[Dski]

thanks for the help guys.. i needed an impact wrench to get the flywheel off but all we're going to need is a bendix and it should be good to go!!

 

[S&Ssuperjets]

I do the rope in the cylinder trick all the time ..With no prob and torque it that way ..
