So i just received my 1st Dax 65 yesterday, i have some questions.
1. should there be some type of lubricant on gears that drive the clutch? i pulled the cover, that whole thing is bone dry. that doesn't seem healthy.
2. do the piston and crank bearings come lubricated? i am not adverse to tearing the thing down and lubing it all all up, if it means smoother/longer life and operation. (i am wanting to paint the cylinder, head and crank cases anyway, tear down makes that totally easy)
3. if i do tear it down prior to ever running it, are all of the paper gaskets pretty much trash or can they be reused? the one that came on the clutch cover wasn't even installed correctly, was rubbing the clutch drive gear. if i need to replace, should i cut my own, use liquid, order new?
4. has anyone replaced the philips head engine hardware with allen heads?philips heads on an engine SUCK, i used to strip heads on my honda CL350 all the time and HATE extracting.
5. what the heck does the button on the carb do? the only thing i can figure is it jars the float to open the fuel valve? is there a point to that?
thanks a ton, and keep the shiny side up.
