 bushings and seals
well i changed my bushings and seals on my longtail...dont know when or if the previous owner did but i only put about 10 hours on it started pouring grease from the front seal...replced the bushing and seals and the manual says after running the motor 45 seconds at idle you should be able to toach it without burning yourself...well after about 30 seconds it was scorching...the temperature gun was reading about 180 - 200 degrees at the front of the shaft and about 80 in the middle and back...anyone know what i did wrong and can be causing this? also does anyone know about what temoerature it should be? thanks!

 Re: bushings and seals
What brand of longtail is this? Got a pressure cup? Definitely a lack of grease....
