Re: Mixture screw on a 413

Re: Anybody know the dimensions of the copper washer on the drain plug of the gear and transfer boxes?

There isn’t always a copper washer. Depending on the year it might be a tapered thread plug so it would be worth checking before ordering anything.

Never a sign of one,but recently had the oil changed in both and now slight weeping of oil from the gearbox. I'm getting a new clutch on Tuesday so thought it might be worth getting them fitted as it's an MOT fail here in Spain.

Re: Bell Housing

Sorry for not replying Jordi only just saw your post. Not a lot more than the odd drip,as you say it's either that or the rear crankshaft seal.

Re: Bell Housing

Cleaned out the "scoop" of the old congealed oil and now there is a steady drip of old black oil. Any ideas where it might be coming from?
