Oil weeping from around spark plugs?

Hey guys, Big boy ride yesterday. Amazing fun. Experienced a little bit of everything with the bike, from low-n-slow bobs through town, long stretches of 75-85mph highway, blasts up and back down some twisties, and a top speed run... she still tonnes up with a tailwind! My big problem, is that there...

Mine has done this since I've owned the bike. Just rebuilt the clutch, still squealing. When I rebuilt the clutch, I noticed the crank had a sort of sticky film on it, almost like a rosin. I wonder if this is old lube breaking down and causing it to slip in an odd manner and vibrate like a violin st...

Not to keep replying on my own post, but I FINALLY got this thing going pretty darn well for the first time in over 8 years! I took it out of storage and spent the last week or so running to ground most of the little issues I've been having. First off, those OKO CVK carbs are definitely not good for...

Thanks, Randy! Yup, I swapped in my old [and ugly] CB77 stator and it did much better. Instead of dropping about 0.1V/minute, it now does it over about 5 minutes. Still not perfect, and I've found that the headlight is definitely part of the problem. I think I just have too much going on, electrical...

Re: CB77 keeps running it's battery dead... while running.

THANKS G! Interesting about the 6V system! I don't recall who told me to run it, but I'm a bit mad at them now! I will run the bike without the headlight, but here in California, you're required to have it. I'll risk it for a minute or two! I was planning to run the bike with a multimeter taped to t...

CB77 keeps running it's battery dead... while running.

Hey guys, For the first time in 8 years, I had the bike running out on the highway, now with the OKO CVK carbs and some other goodies. That bike is a riot. Not fast, but SO rewarding to ride! The problem is, my rides are about 15-20 minutes long because the battery doesn't stay charged. Basically, I...

Well there's NONE of that ratchet sound. Anything else you think I can do without separating cases?
