Repair instructions
Inspecting the crankshaft
The crankshaft cannot be reconditioned but must
be replaced if it is worn or damaged.
Inspect the large end of the connecting rod. If
seizure marks, discolouration on the sides or
damaged needle holders are found the crankshaft
must be replaced.
Inspect the small end of the connecting rod.
If seizure marks or discolouration are found in the
bearing track the crankshaft must be replaced.
Check the crank bearing. The connecting rod shall
not have any radial play (up and down).
It should, however, have axial play, in order to
ensure good lubrication of the crank bearing
among other things.
Check for wear and damage on the crankshaft's
bearing and on oil seal.
Bearing and oil seal should always be replaced by
a new bearing and oil if it is damaged or worn out.
