blubyyou Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 I just put in my new 4mil kit and my cases had the chain whack damage but I had it tigged up before. All looked great until I added tranny fluid last night and there must be a pinhole in the weld because it dripping a little on the ground. My question is will a little JB weld be good enough or could I get it tigged again to fix it without pulling the motor? Its on the bottom right at the shifter boss if this helps. I don't believe its bad at all. The weld looked great, it must me a pinhole through the weld that isn't visible to the eye. Needless to say this is discouraging as I could have just bought new cases for a few hundred and never had this issue as I thought I had it fixed properly. Oppinions on how to fix this?

blubyyou Posted March 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Well today I did quite a bit of research at work (slow day), I came home drained the oil and flipped the bike up on it's side. Just as I had guessed when they tigged it up they left a very tiny pin hole...I mean very tiny!!!! So I ground it down with my dremmel, brake cleaned it, and used some JB 4 minute epoxy on it. I'm letting it sit overnite then tomorrow I will add oil and see if it leaks or not. However this is not a permanent fix. I will get it jetted and broke in first then I plan to drain the oil again, clean up the spot again, and take the bike to get it tigged in that spot. I was freaking out at first but I think this can be fixxed with no proplem at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfrjag Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 sounds like an easy fix... to bad it didnt get fixed the first time though. i think the regular jb weld works better than the quick stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burt Reynolds Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 I fixed a 1 inch hole in a banshee case where the small gear on the clutch basket exploded and went through the bottom with jb quick 3 years ago still holds today.

n2otoofast4u Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 You should have just used the standard JB Weld if you were gonna let it sit over night. If you are hell bent on grinding it out and having the hole welded, either pull the motor out of the bike, pull the stator and have it welded, or leave it in the bike, and pull the stator/cdi/coil from the bike.. A welder will WRECK any and all electrical stuff on a bike if its given the chance. Wont do it everytime, but dont give it a chance. If it were me, Id grind that JB Quick out of it, put the real stuff in and let it sit for awhile and then run it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blubyyou Posted March 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Thanks for the advise. I will grind it out and use the regular stuff until I get it welded in a few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
