I cleaned the inside of that sprocket cover because all that junk is coming from a leaking push-rod seal. If it isn't clean you won't be able to tell if it is still leaking. You might have the same leak if it's oily in there.
i suspect its just old chain lube in there, but ill have to do that and keep my eyes open for that.
is there a standard torquing chat for these random bolts and such? like i know theres torque values for the front and rear end drive stuff, but items such as the carb holder bolts and these sprocket cover bolts were pretty tight, probably from age, but would it be good to use a standard torque value on these for the size bolt or should i just be german torquing the ones that arent specified?
