Bought one of these a few weeks ago, ran it around the yard a few times on seperate occasions.
It made a grinding noise then a clicking noise and I shut it down and opened up the right crankcase cover. The arm that stops the shift drum bolts to a lug on the case, the lug has broken off.
What are my options? Is the case aluminum? Can it be welded? Can I replace just the right side case or do I need to get both sides as a set? I do have a clymer manual and plan to do it myself. Would I be better off having a shop do it? What special considerations should I keep in mind?
Any secrets to getting phillips head screws out without stripping them?
