Re: 1 leak resolved, at least one more to go

False alarm on what I thought was a 2nd oil leak. It turned out to be gas, not oil, from a slow drip from the carb overflow tube that was flowing through the hole in the top of the case and settling in the bottom of the right side. A quick carb float adjustment fixed it. Next issue to resolve is chr...

1 leak resolved, at least one more to go

I found a definite leak at the clutch push rod seal and fixed it with a NOS seal from Ebay. I'm still getting oil from somewhere but it's hard to tell where because it's a much slower leak than the push rod seal. I think it might be coming from behind the stator but I haven't pulled it off yet. I as...

It's been a long time since I've had that right side cover off. I forgot that there's no gasket there. Your starter or crank seal idea sounds right. I guess we're on the same quest for those seals. I will update the post if I find them. Thanks. A common oil leak for our engines occurs from the right...

I've got the exact same problem with my '66 CA77. After a short ride it drips several tablespoons of oil from the bottom of the right side engine cover. It's hard to tell exactly where its coming from because it spreads all over the bottom of the engine. Makes a real mess wherever I park it. After a...

Current Photo

Note to Admin: test uploading of photos from Windows 7RC. I got an "empty file" error from my Windows 7 machine but am able to upload the same files from XP?

1yr old Firestone whitewalls

Note the sever yellowing on the exposed whitewall, not on the bead. I dont understand how that could have been due to bleeding through from behind unless exposure to UV might have also been a factor?

Back on the Road

As the previous poster suggested, sometimes other projects can be a distraction and I have had several but am now back on the road for the summer. Since my last post I have replaced the seat cover, front foot pegs and both tires...again. The tires were replaced last year with Firestone whitewalls fr...
