What model kamado you got John?

Can you copy the link here of the advert then others can see / advise you more?

Fingers crossed its the nuts that are stripped and you can just replace the studs, but i fear it’ll be the stud to crankcase at fault 🥴🤞

The MS250 is a plastic crankcase/body, the bar nuts run on studs that are wound into the cranckcase body on a course thread. If the studs are spinning in the crankcase body then your only option really is to try and epoxy the studs back in, but might be a long shot and continued use means the owner will have to be very savvy each time he tightens the nuts up again when reassembling the bar and cover. Over tightening will see them slipping/stripping the studs in the crankcase again. Other than trying that if this is the issue then it’ll be a new crankcase/body. From a economical fix point of view then probably a chinese copy crankcase would be the best way to go maybe. Can you post some pics to try and see what we’re looking at?

No i work for Hanson, formerly Castle Cement, had Volvo, Erf, Daf, Merc, Renault over the years. Yeah synchro’s are poor, cable change doesnt help em! Apparently there a mega amounts of “special tools” required to do the gearboxes 🤷‍♂️ not done any myself, and the gears are of a weird metal? Very expensive too, struggle getting em (waiting times) even before covid and now wartime so god knows what stuffs like to get hold of these days! Tbh, for the cost vs down time and stress i’d just bang em in to a gearbox specialist and av done. Always fit new cables though if you have box out for repairs, they wear and stretch so that’ll have knock effects if you put back new with old!

From your pics i think the cylinder will probably clean up well and you’ll get away with fine emery/light hone but hard to be 100% sure without sticking a thumb nail in there [emoji6]

Side to side movement is fine, you dont want any up down movement between the con rod and crankshaft if that makes sense to you.

Took a couple of lads on that came from a merc dealership, they recommend changing half shafts with any major diff repair as they end up losing alot of flesh from the splines also when you suffer pinion bearing failures. They put injectors in with a special anti seize paste, ya know the score when ya get blow by and they get coked up to chuff, end up mullering em or even wrecking head getting em out, rekon its the dogs nuts….. and it is, not had a stuck injector since using it. Heres a pic of it for part number if ya interested, its not cheap but does its job!!!

Ohh you lucky boy you! They usually disintegrate rapido when they start to go! Any other damage or have you got away with it? Half shafts alright?

My tails getting shorter! Do stop! [emoji16]

I only missed two words…. Positive and negative, you got my drift! [emoji30]

Impulse line is a rubber tube, connected between the crankcase and carb, the crankcase side creates a pressure which in turn creates a vacuum on the carb side thus pumping fuel from the tank.

I’ve never used one, i just tend to pry in places that dont cause harm and use the aid of a vice along with a small copper hammer, but i’m just rough! 🤠 (sure Spud’s gona go all fury on me and call me a wanker for doing so [emoji16]) but i just take my time and use a bit of patience. You can buy the chinese splitting tool for peanuts but never seen one in action or felt one so can’t comment. Just do what you feel comfortable with, and if your unsure then do what your doing now and just ask away, someone will have an idea or answer for ya.

You are a font of knowledge sir! Every day is a school day! 🤠[emoji106]

Yeah with ya! Mate had a yam tzr with plated bores, piston broke up and destroyed the bore, hence the coming to know about the bores being plated, cost to do up saw the rest of the bike stripped for bits.
