Okay, consider these possibilities.
- Screw may be too short, should be 40mm.
- There's more threads in the case than what are needed. The outer threads may have stripped. A slightly longer screw may work, 45mm, but don't tighten as much as the others.
- The copper washer may be interfering with the bolt insertion.
I definitely have the right screw. even bought a new set of lower case ones from Mikes.
I'll try removing the washer, or finding a 45mm from a fastener store.
But before all that, (correct me if I'm wrong) I'm going to have to remove the cover and figure out why the kickstarter is not doing its job right?
So drain all the 2.5L of oil into a clean bucket and start from scratch?
