So I ask this to improve my engine performance, now I ask, I have leak on the front bearing, netx to the flywheel, the engine keep wet all the things all aroung the flywheel, what have to do solve this problem ???.
I think the engine have a rich blend, because when I close the needles this wet thing dosenīt happens. When I told you my engine was used, the crankshaft was rusty, when I disarm the engine, I try to polish all as well but it still have a leak on the front bearing, and i will noticed that the head of the piston is dirty of charcoal.
Please tell what I have to do to my engine, is the charcoal means a poor needle setting or what?.
I want to do the best thing in my country vs the other engines like novarossi and rossi and others.
This is why I ask for your support, because, no matter what happens, RB never let me down, in th epoor engine conditions.
Thanks

Indeed if you are running your engine rich this leaking can increase even more.
If during the cleaning inside your engine you have found rust on the crankshaft then I suggest strongly to verify the main-bearing because the bearings do not like this...
It is normal that the top and side of the piston can become black the is due to the oil in the fuel burning.
