take shifter off, mark first, take a small electrical driver, and insert it inside, pop it out, and press the new one in.

If it has good spark why wouldn't you look at the fuel system?

Hey Anon,
Cleaning a carb is not an easy undertaking,, there are several tiny passages, tiny jets, and the needle/seat assy, If you are not trained to know these.. you may not get the carb as clean as it needs to be... Install a new spark plug... a new air filter.. and get a qualified pro to clean and set the carb.

There is a lip seal at the shift shaft that probably needs to be replaced. Sometimes that seal can be removed without pulling the shift shaft. Remove the shifter and degrease the area around the shaft.Carefully drive a wood screw into the seal, taking care not to go too deep (1/4" or so). Install another screw directly across from the first, take a pliers and each hand and pull. You may have to move around the seal in several positions to get it out. The new seal can then be installed with a deep well socket after cleaning the area. Remember to grease the insde lip of the seal before installation.
If you can't get the seal out with the wood screw trick, you'll have to pull the shift shaft. This isn't that big a job but I would recommend the factory repair manual. Generally the shift shaft can be removed after removing the right side engine cover and pulling it thru the motor. Good luck!

Yes. Once you remove the engine cover and expose the shaft and seal, carefully pry the old seal out with a small flat blade screwdriver. Apply some grease to the inside diameter of the new seal, slide it over the shift shaft (clean it first) - and press it in place.

Hey doesn't your Honda know that only Harley's mark their territory? Pull the cover and install a new gasket, no big deal.

Putting it bluntly, remove the case cover, pry the old seal out any way you can without buggering up the case then slide a new seal onto the shift shaft and seat it in the cavity. The only other way is to remove the shift shaft and then pry out the old seal. Sort of the same thing but a bit more mannerly.

You will want to remove the cover then use a light plastic hammer and a small punch to remove the seal. It should come out very easy. Install the new seal evenly.

Please rate this answer. Thanks!
