    200e bolt question + more

    Hey guys, just got an 83 200e... Chains popping off and has an oil leak... Heres the first question...

    1.) What is the bolt that i circled in this picture (taken from bobbyg)? It is missing on my machine, just want to make sure its not a drain plug or something....

    2.) The oil leak appears to be coming from the same spot as this picture almost but not as bad of a leak, it only sloooowly drips when off and a steadier drip when running.... Think its a seal, i don't see any cracks from the chain anywhere....

    3.) Is the hose that runs directly out of the bottom of my carb just a drain hose? because there is gas coming out of it when ever the tank is switched to the "on" position and stops when switched to the "off" position...


    Sorry about all the questions, just wanted to ask a few before i go out and pull the recoil and sub tranny and see what i can find on this oil leak... THANKS GUYS IN ADVANCE!!!!!

    Also wondering if im just stipid or what, but the "chain tensioner" or whatever its called to tighten the chain seems to be rigged up?

    I cant seem to figure why the chain does not tighten up when i crank on the bolt, when i take it off, its just a threaded nut on a bolt that goes through a "tab" on the frame... How do i do this am i doing it wrong?

    your gears could be worn out to the point where it could be at max tension. but it still wont be enough. and that leak looks like its comming from a bolt on one of your cases. are the threads stripped?

    Nope, found the problem.... I guess the morons that i got it from where too high to put the new back sprocket on the correct way when they changed them both... LOL

    Looks like i have to get some work done, then on to the oil leak :-) i think its the oil seal behind the pull rope and/or sub tranny...

    It could be that your chain came off and cracked the case above that bolt, causing oil to leak.

    Yeah, im afraid of that, i am gonna start tearing the back apart first, then im going to see about the leak after, prob start it tonight....

    I still cant figure out what that bolt was i circled in the picture, i can see that im missing it, but the leak is coming from above that bolt a bit, but it looks like when i stand over the top, that the leak also lines right up with that gasket as well

    if it was cracked he should be able to find it easily. it could be that some of those bolts are stipped. or the case was damaged when it was removed if it was removed. i have seen people jam screw drivers trying to pry them apart. it just effs it up bad.

    Well so far no cracks in the case i can see.... I pulled the recoil and the sub tranny, both gaskets where deteriorated beyond recognition... Both were missing chuncks, so i ordered some new ones, will replace that when they come and hope for the best...

    I am correct that the sub tranny seal or the recoil seal could be a place of leakage right? Both have oil in them? Also ordered some brake shoes lol.... Will flip the sprocket after dinner...

    The drain hose on your carb, if you are having fuel leaking when the petcock is on, either you got a chunk of crap in the needle and seat, or your needle is bad, or floats are worn out and out of adjustment...

    your recoil should not have any oil inside. by recoil you mean the pullcord right? if you have oil in there you have a bad crank seal.

    No theres no oil in there, i just re-read what i wrote and i meant only in the sub tranny, i was only referring to the recoil for needing a new gasket too...
