Guys;

I disassembled the STS last night and found the leaking problem. I wasn't the front bearing. The Boot on the carb slide had pulled away from the body slightly at the bottom and was leaking there. The boot looks all swollen and fits very loose so I'm going to replace it with a Black Rubber Boot from a RB carb.

I noticed that inside of the Crankcase in the cutouts for the transfer passages. There are support risers (for the sleeve) that look like they would disrupt fuel flow. Can I take these out with a Dremel or will the sleeve warp without them. None of my other brand engines have these.

Thanks,
