Paulie B Posted July 31, 2012 Report Posted July 31, 2012 When I bought my motor it was missing a shift fork shaft case plug. I replaced it and it came out again. What can I do to keep it in? Would some red loctite help or something else? Quote
wacko2000 Posted July 31, 2012 Report Posted July 31, 2012 I've actually never seen or heard of green loctite- thought it was red and blue Joe Quote
Paulie B Posted July 31, 2012 Author Report Posted July 31, 2012 I'll use red on them both then. Thanks guys. Quote
jbooker82 Posted July 31, 2012 Report Posted July 31, 2012 I've actually never seen or heard of green loctite- thought it was red and blue Joe LockTight has a couple greens. One is a wicking forumula for parts that are already assembled. The other is a sleeve retainer wich is what the OP would want in this case. It is some tough stuff. I know a lot of guys put it on the splines of counter ballancers in 4 stroke builds. Quote

BigRed350x Posted August 1, 2012 Report Posted August 1, 2012 Buy a new factory plug for $1 and tap it in. Ive never once used any kinda loctite on them. The snap rings on your shift fork rods should prevent the shift fork from ever making contact with the plugs if you have everything installed correctly. Quote

Anyways thats what I did to fix it the first time. I agree until this motor I've never seen one drop. I have to try something different thistime lol Quote
