My engine leaked bad at the tach drive. I could not get it stopped.
When i installed my tach after the paint i noticed someone had two of those pieces that keep the drive in the head instead of one and the cable was not able to seal.

thats wierd...mine has the double pcs that keep the drive in.....
with a new kit, no problems......my bike was an oil leaker
unmolested original as far as the motor....there should only be one?

yes dave, we all know how to fix the leak...

roy, looking at mine in garage it looks like the inner of the two pcs has an angle cut in it that corresponds with the housing that i guess keeps it from spinning and the outer piece is the clamp.....just wondering
