[QUOTE="mbullen, post: 512855, member: 24594"] You wouldn't need to do gearcase unless it's leaking. Even then, one can usually just replace it more frequently. If you find the milky tell-tale in the current gear oil, a pressure test is available to narrow the specific culprit. Otherwise, you're on the right track. Fuel lines might be suspect - including the tank line, but you've covered all the usual suspects. The only frustrating part could be a spark issue and the cdi ignition. No real good elimination tricks there except the remove-and-replace game with a fairly expensive ignition module. Best of luck to you. I think those are pretty bulletproof motors, personally.
