Always need help on nitro Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Hi guys can somebody please tell me why there is so much grey/black thick liquid coming out of the pullstart. It is al most flowing out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locky Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Probably leaking from starter shaft which is in the middle of the backplate. If it's running ok then dont worry, as the seal is not 100%. Otrherwise replace backplate. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Its sort of normal for fuel oil to get pushed through the starter shaft bearing and as above if working ok dont worry about it my nitros used to do that as well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always need help on nitro Posted April 15 Author Share Posted April 15 Oh okay I also have a bad clutch I already ordered it but does it change the idle ass well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy122 Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago Some is to expected, pull cord often ended up quiet greasy.... but for it to he ""flowing"" it's gonna be a worn starting shaft missing/worn seals or if the backplate has a one way setup(bearing) in it. then then it's likely that Ziggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
