Blue RTV


I did the same thing. Pulled it off and ran a bead all the way around the housing and around the bolt holes and put it back on. Rand a bead around there the pullrope neck comes into the housing and then inside the pullrope pocket. Filled the rope end (handle) up and went on my way.

Ill give it a shot this weekend! Ive heard its hard to get one of the bolts off. Dont know if this is for removing the whole assembly to install the HL shield.

You want have to remove that nut. Thats the nut that connects to the crank.
all you have to do it remove the (I think 4) bolts that hold the actual cover and recoil to the back of the engine. a few of them are hard to get to but not hard to remove
