CB77 OIL COMING UP TACHO CABLE

Post by Hondapete » Sat May 14, 2016 1:11 pm

Is it normal for oil to come up the tacho cable or have I got a breather problem. I noticed that there is no seal on the drive gear to stop this.

The cable has a special seal at the head connection. ...............lm

Thanks LM, my seal is not working if that is the case as oil had got into the the head. When I cleaned the cluster there was a considerable amount of oil on the tacho side of the case.

Many thanks
