long bolts in crankcase
Brett72:
Thanks for the replies. As it stands on further investigation it looks like the threaded hole in the top half of the crankcase has had it :-[
Has anyone ever tapped it out to an M10? If so did it go ok?
Thanks in advance

No! Get it helicoiled or better still a Wurth insert fitted, that will sort it and keep all the volts standard size and thread.

I like all my volts the same size too, else they get stuck in the electric string if you get a chunky one ;D and then all the smoke falls out.
Auto correct, predictive text, don't you just love it. :)

That made me laugh 😂 😂 😂 😂 With my limited knowledge of all things electrical, thats just how I would explain a problem.

But on a more serious note for the OP, generally wise to go with and insert/repair on these engines to preserve original bolts and thread sizes.
It shouldn't be difficult to complete either.
