I'm guessing that you found it and re-installed it. Am I right?

TurboT · 07-22-2009, 10:44 PM

I'm missing something too???

...and why are the fenders blue?

yozalo · 07-22-2009, 11:24 PM

I did not find the side cover. I was looking for it but never found it. My fenders are not blue. I just took a photo from giobikes.com. Turbo T your missing the engine side cover one too. If I was to take a photo it would never look as clean as that since my atv is always covered in mud. :P

TurboT · 07-23-2009, 01:25 AM

I'm still confused?? 8O

yozalo · 07-23-2009, 12:33 PM

I'll post a pic turbo T.

yozalo · 07-23-2009, 06:08 PM

Yea. there is a hole. I don't know what is it for but I took some pictures.

TurboT · 07-23-2009, 06:19 PM

Strange. Wonder how it fell off.

yozalo · 07-23-2009, 07:02 PM

I don't know how it really fell of. It fell off when I was riding it.

If I remember correctly (it's been quite a while, like 40+ years) since i owned a Honda 50, the cover you are referring to is threaded into the side cover, (so I would assume it just un-threaded itself and fell out) underneath the cover (which is missing) you see a set screw with a lock nut, this is used to set the auto-clutch. Now, as to that setting, I simply don't remember, but I would assume, too tight (screwed in) and the clutch won't disengage, too loose (screwed out) and the clutch will slip. I'm sure there is a "proper" setting of some type, but, at least here, it is lost in the fog of passing time.

yozalo · 07-23-2009, 08:10 PM

Oooooo, so I am missing the screw and the cover. Shit. Where am I supposed to get it from?

yozalo · 07-23-2009, 08:13 PM

Maybe Turbo T, can you take your engine side cap off to see if it has a bolt in it.

TurboT · 07-23-2009, 10:09 PM

From the fuzzy picture it looks like you may have a bolt in there still. It would only be the cap that fell off. I can't imagine any hardware inside that cover would have come loose. Shine a flashlight in there on yours and see what you see. I doub't it's a gaping hole into the motor, or you'd be spilling oil.

I need to do an oil change on mine this weekend and will have a look if there is still a question in your mind.

I'll check tommorrow when it is more sunny outside. Where can I buy a cover from.
