Kickstart seal
Confused again. One side has a deep cutaway and one side is nearly flat. Which side faces in? Hard to tell from the fiche. I'm talkin about the seal in the clutch cover.
I was born with nothing and still have most of it left.

Re: Kickstart seal
I looked at my Clymer manual. It looks like the cut away side faces in, but I'd like some confirmation before I install it.

The larger/heavier lip always goes toward the oil or pressure side.

Thanks! Now that I put it in, I remember that's how it was.
