The liquid might of been water stuck inside the carrier...possibly. There is a gasket between tje pinch bolts that might be damaged.

Ckeck the condition off the rear sprocket teeth make sure they aent damaged. Lastly you should take apart your rear axle as the sprocket hub might be slipping on the splines

all i was trying to say is if the rear sprocket is moving or not, it's either ther rear end or at the crank... you should be able to somewhat feel it on the bike if it's at one end or the other... yes? no?

its on the rear end i just cant tell if its the sprocket or somethin to do with the bearings in the axle or somethin like tht

the liquid came out from under the bolts wen i lossened them...... if its the gasket wat will it do if i keep drivin it..... the teeth dont look like they r damaged any the chain is just real loose i need to buy a new one.....i had it on concrete blocks and had it in second gear id watch the chain on top of the back sprocket and it would bounce and then make a grinding sound.....

probably best to get the rear on a stand and try isolating the problem. should be able to tell fairly quickly ...

I have never been successful in running a chain drive on jackstands as the chain seems to load up then unload and makes a nasty clanking noise especially when i let off the throttle. When the rear wheels are on the ground (normal driving) the chain is fine. What am I doing wrong?

sounds likre the carrier bearning is out and causing the axle to run in a angle the fuild is water that sucked in over time

      (Pic included) Need info on how to re-wire wire harness side stator 3 pin connector back on. 96 Timberwolf
      By mattgoodwin
      I'm repairing a 96 Timberwolf 2x4. Many years ago a dog chewed the wires that go from stator to the rectifier/regulator, and I've had to use the pull start ever since. Ive since lost the plug for the stator and on the wiring harness side. I'm ordering a new stator that will also come with the female plug that I need to fix it on the wiring harness side, but I have no clue in what position to put those 3 white wires(ones I'm holding with electrical tape on them) back into the new plug. Since they're all the same color, does it matter? Any info on this or pictures anyone has of their own will be very much appreciated.

      interesting idea......or a bad one?
      By mga
      I just saw a video on TikTok where some guy took the rear end off an ATV and bolted on a roto tiller in place of rear wheels. I wish i saved that video to post here....good thing it was 4 wheel drive...lol but, it seemed to work.
      I'm not sure how he made it bolt on to the drive....

      Need Help Please Guys
      By QuadDad22
      Picked up a 86’ LT 185 for $10 in trade value(my items only cost me $10) 
      recoil only , I pull the recoil and it won’t move , so I took it off , I can spin the crank there one full turn left then it locks up , and one full turn back to the right and it locks up
      pulled the plug , the piston is moving up n down , both valves are moving(pulled the caps) 
      pulled the clutch off , oil pump gear , and it still locks up after one turn 
       
      any ideas or where to go from here would be greatly appreciated 
      im a 2 stroke guy so this all is new to me 
       
      thank you in advance y’all
