Squirt some hI-temp RTV in that crack and run that mfer around for a week and see if it holds.

I cast another vote for JB Weld. Take a Dremel tool and grind a small groove along the crack. Clean it off good with acetone, then daub a good glob of JB Weld in the groove.
It'll either work or it won't. But either way you're only going to be out the cost of some JB Weld,...and JB Weld is strong stuff.

What did you use on the exhaust heat shield? high temp engine enamel. The heat sheild is only connected at two bolts I'll start looking into the fix. To be honest I was so disgusted with the mess, I just parked it and moved on to the next thing. I'll clean up my shop and get back into in a couple of weeks

If you're going to patch on it with some sort of Moose Juice, use Marine Tex. It's much more durable than any of the other patching compounds. Degrease it thoroughly with spray carburetor cleaner and tip the casting so there's no oil behind the crack. Then use coarse sandpaper like 40 grit or so to put some deep scratches in the casting for the patch to grab. It might not completely seal the leak, but it can reduce it to a seep.

Get it fixed, it will sell.
We have an 84 just like that out in the barn with a 15 gallon sprayer on the back, my wife used it the week before last to spray weeds on the horse pasture. We paid $380 for it with the sprayer included 7 years ago. What are you using in a horse pasture that won't hurt horses?

The real question is, where is it broken and what broke it?
Is it at a motor mount or any load bearing area? Did it throw a rod and crack the case in the past?
By just patching the case you are probably addressing the symptom but ignoring the disease.
Cases don't crack for no reason, not even Hondas.
I worked at a Honda dealership in '85-86, coming from a Kaw shop that closed. I was appalled at the lack of quality that some
dirt bikes and ATV's showed. Things just.......broke, for no reason. I swear that their philosophy at the time was,
'Don't make anything out of one part that can be made out of ten.' Luckily they figured it out by the late 80's and started producing good stuff.
Figure out WHY the case broke before you fix it.

good advice
the guy did tell me his nephew hit a tree head on with it and the front rack was pretty bent, and since only his nephew rode it that he decided the kid was going to hurt himself on it. I used a pry bar and a big vise to straight out the rack.
perhaps he neglected to tell me what else happened.

That a slick looking old wheeler. Me and a buddy tried our best to ride one just like it into the ground. In the end it was pretty well shot and probably had 100k on it but it still started on the first kick, since the electric start had been out since we were still in diapers, and ran like a top. Great old machines. If I was closer I’d weld up the case for you or buy it and weld it up for me. yea, they are hard to kill but this one wasn't as indestructible as I thought

where do you get Belzona at? Way overpriced stuff. Stick with using your Dremel tool to create a groove where the crack is, clean it good with Acetone or Brakeclean, use the JB-Weld slow dry and mix and apply per instructions. Either that or have it welded.

Have never heard of Belzona 1111. Learn something new every day. Video below of their process to repair a cracked engine block. Even if you do not use Belzona, might be a nugget in it... Belzona 1111 Engine block repair...
