Engine Trouble Really strange problem with 80cc engine

[Bikemovile]

It could cause an air leak.

I'm thinking of going through the casing with a 6 mm drill bit to grab a longer screw on the other side with a washer.
What do you think about it? Is it a bad idea?
Thanks

It would be a much better fix if you split the case and installed a helicoil, however your solution might work. I personally wouldn't do it.

There is a clutch on the other side of that screw. You would have to countersink a screw and start it from the other side to get it away from the clutch.

Someone knows the lenght of that bolt or the lenght of the case in that point??

The case at that point is 64mm. You're going to run into an issue where the bolt goes through. You'll have to cut a bit of the case away, and still the clutch rides very close or right on that spot.

Thanks dude it seems the only way for me is to use helicoil.

You can run the drill right through, trim a bit of the case where the clutch is, a little hole in the case in that area won't affect it any, countersink for a flat head screw. Then put the nut on the mag side. Probable easier than splitting the case to get a helicoil installed.

I bet that if I split the case in two one new problem will apear trying to solve this one lol.
In any case I'm going to keep using the bike without touching this, not sure this is making any difference

If it's running, don't mess with it. You don't want to be accused of fixing it til it's broke.

Did you figure out the original problem?
