    Basically I've bought a GPR50, replaced the gear oil only to find on the gearbox side of the engine, there is a small hole which has been caused by the chain snapping at some point, this makes sense as the bike didn't have a chain on it when I bought it.

    Could do with it on the road asap, can anyone suggest some kind of engine/ exhaust gum or sealant I could use as a temporary repair?

    Obv. I'll be getting a new casing when I find one but just need a temporary repair for now.

    cheers

    jb weld... will last as long as the case does LOL can buy it anywhere. can rebuild valve seats wiht it in big drag v8's (proven) so i think its upto the job of bodging up a lil hole in the bottom of a lil bike engine.
