I've just brought a 'new' 39 BO home. Because I'm an Amateur in this 'sport', I have several questions about situations that I would appeciate some help and knowledge with.1. The clutch will not "snap" into engagement. It just lays there, pretty sloppy and lose. I started to adjust the 3 nuts but discovered that one of the bolts has been broken off (it looks as though about 1/2 inch is gone.) Other than replacing the short clutch bolt, can anyone tell me what would cause the clutch to not snap into the engagement position? 2. The BO has got individual brakes with a 'pipe plug' on the top of each brake for lubrication. About 2 or 3 inches in from the brakes, on the transmission (?) case are two more 'pipe plugs' (one on each side of the case). I have looked in the manual and parts manual and can find no mention of them. Can anyone tell me what these pipe plugs are? 3. This BO has got the B694R cast wheels on it. It looks as though all of the retaining bolts are good, but it also looks as though someone has welded a couple of beads around the inside of one of the wheels to keep the cast wheel on the the shaft. Any ideas what the purpose might have been. Because I'm going to have to remove the wheels to do any work on the pulley and flywheel, I'm going to have to get these wheels off. 4. And the last question, at least for tonight, is when the BO is running, the prettiest lines of oil originate (streak) from the flywheel shaft and flow/shoot outward to the outer rim of the flywheel. It also has quite an oil drip from the flywheel after it has run for awhile. Any suggestions here would also be appreciate. I'm sure these are pretty basic questions..but I'm learning and having quite abit of fun in the process. Thanks for all of your insight.
