Rocky,
I don't exactly know what you mean by "loose in the groove fitment", but the
lip seal does not offer a tight fit in the groove left when you remove the
rope seal. You do have to fill the groove with sealant and let it set up
around the seal. (or am I being too obvious?) You also need to ensure the
seal is centered on the crank as perfectly concentric with the crank as
possible. Fill with sealant, insert the seal, snug everything up, and turn
the crank by hand several times before the sealant sets up.
Cheers,
Lew Palmer

o.k hopefully e mail is fixed now.... sorry for the bounce backs.
thanks for all the help on the hesitation..
how much oil is required in each carb chamber... my son tells me he put a
small amount of standard 10w 40 is that o.k or should i somehow remove it...
also was looking for help on the leaky front seal it is the moss (Timkin)
not
the rope seal and it was set in high temp grey silicone as it fit the crank
end seemingly snug but was loose in the groove fitment. there were no
visible
wear signs on the polished end of the crank....very smooth.
thanks as always
Rocky
