Oil leaking

Post by bech » Wed Jun 30, 2010 2:26 am

There's oil leaking from behind the points. The side cover gasket is fine.
I’ve been told that it can be the o-ring or - worse - worn shaft.
Any clue about it before I open pandora’s jar? Thanks.

There is usually an oil seal behind the points, for the shaft. That is what I would suspect to be leaking.

You bet.

Really looking forward to meeting you Loudmouse when you arrive here in Oz. Leaving later today to do testing over the weekend ready for the National Titles. Jerry
