Honda-SOHC

Hi.  Paul here from Manchester. 61 years young.  I joined the other SOHC forum out of courtesy as I had used it on several occasions to assist with issues on my 750K7. I own a Harley Sportster 1200, a BSA B40, a Honda ST1100 and a CB750K7 with which I am currently chasing oil leaks.  I can't believe that the tacho oil seal had 2 seals in it and the lower one was like iron so I was convinced that I wasn't fitting the new one correctly. Measuring the depth ot the cavity proved that something was still in there and using the time honoured woodscrew trick worked.  I have recently re gasketted the gear change and alternator covers as well.  It is not only brit bikes that leak!  I hope to have some input.
