Re: Leaking gas 85 spree nq50
I think ive got it going now. Few noob questions. Should the back wheel be spinning while started on the stand? And i hear a clinky noise in the gear box. I opened it up and it all seems ok. Gears dont look stripped.

And right before that I was saying I dont know how to remove that.... I'll post up a pic of the end of that later. If its broken I wouldnt know. An...
