"My Honda 50(1999) has
"My Honda 50(1999) has a piece of the gearcase missing(clamshell shaped) fron the back edge of the case and runds forward about 3.5"s. It is and 90 degree arc at the back edge and runs out just forward of the bearing retainer rear section. The retainer nut is cracked just behind the prop. The moter runs fine at low speeds, the propshaft part stack is tight axially and doesn't wobble. At about 5000 it makes a cavitating noise.
Any thoughts on why this happened and is it a common Honda problem?
Thanks"
