    Tach Drive connector broken off

    The tach drive portion that the tach cable screws into on the front of the engine seems to be broken off.. Not sure what to do next, as it has a small oil leak coming from it...

    82 GS850G engine...

    thoughts or suggestions?

    If you can't remove it from the front, more than likely you'll need to remove the cam cover and try pushing it out from the inside.

        can I pop the one out of my 80 engine and put it in my 82 engine?

          It 'should' be the same.

              Take a picture of the broken part in question and post it up.

                You gotta go in from the very bottom ( 6 oclock position ) and get a small flat tip in between the head and the drive housing. Then you have made a gap so you can get 2 screw drivers at 3 and 9 position to pry it out of the hole. Youre having so much difficulty because that Oring on the housing wedges in there pretty stiffly. Take your time and dont be afraid to use some force to pry it out of the hole. Replace the Oring and reinstall it.

                    Gotta take the valve cover off and push that out from the inside...you could try vice grips and pulling really hard but the grips may slip and set ya on your rump. In any case that ones shot so give it a try

                            Grab the part still sticking out with some locking pliers and wiggle while pulling.

                              I will give that a try.. can I put some aluminum tape over the hole to seal it up till I get the new tach drive or is there too much pressure on it for that to work?
