Gunna have to fix stripped 6mm bolt now that holds the clutch cover/housing.
Wont be making the coffee meet tomorrow now!!
I was checking and cleaning the beast after getting drowned coming back from the Island and I find an oil leak (seep) from the back of the clutch housing.
Duly got the allen key out to check for bolt tension and BLAH!! the long bolt at the back and 3 down from the top was just sorta hanging there!!
It appears that it was only connecting by about 4 or 5 threads and for some reason they have let go. Strange cos I havent touched that one as its one of them that you dont have to remove to take the cover off. Some ham fisted bastard in the past has more than likely used an impact gun and then used some thread locker/adhesive to cover their tracks (By the look of the blue substance on the end of the bolt.)
I hope a longer bolt will have enough thraed to grip, or its off with the clutch, basket et al and the cover and out with the helicoils.........................geeez grouse!!
