i plan to go to an open belt drive or even an internal belt drive this winter,but for now i have to change the o ring coming from starter to primary.what all am i going to have to remove and is there any suggestions or anything i should do to ensure it want leak.
thinks for the help
There isn't a starter o-ring on a 2003 Pitbull. There is a lip seal that the starter jack shaft runs through.
If you have (or have a friend) who has a harley softail service manual (something in the 1992 range). The repair procedure is pretty well laid out and the bolt torques will be correct.
The jackshaft seal installs with the lip of the seal facing towards the primary.
As far as geting the o-ring to seal apply a thin bead of silicone RTV to the o-ring groove on the inner primary.
Getting the gaskets to seal properly on all of those chrome surfaces can be a real pain.
BDM used gaskets form an outfit in Arizona that makes a killer gasket for the primary and inspection cover.
Contact these folks and they will either provide you with what you need or tell you who you can get them from in your area.
