rebuilding a 1972 kitty cat thought it was a 77
Posted: October 27th, 2011, 7:38 pm
I bought 2 Kitty cats for my kids.
The newer one ran fine so I just washed, but the older one was the problem.
I cleaned the carb (3 times)
would only run with an aerosol being sprayed in the carb.
but it wouldn't rev up when I sprayed around the recoil.
But after reading on here I thought I should check the Crank seal.
The seal was completely destroyed and the spring part of the seal had fallen in the the bearing.
Serial # 7718
This is the horribly blown seal. You can see in to the bearing.
I got the bearing off, Now I am just waiting for them to arrive.
I will post more when I get more work done.
