I’ve been getting the sei out for rides when I have time and weather is nice.
I noticed and oil leak on the countershaft side. I was thinking perhaps the clutch rod or countershaft seals were leaking. But it turns out the new oil pump I fit was leaking.
I still had the original, which seemed to be fine but a new one was not that much $$ so just replaced it. I refit the original and then pulled apart the new one. The main seal was not holding for some reason, although it looked ok. I will investigate further when I have time and get it back so I can use it if needed.
Now no more oil leak. I’m about due to check valve clearances again and I picked up a NOS carb set so I will install that. The other ones were ok, but nothing like having new.
