Help- Crankcase under pressure!

I have a widecase single.

When the engine is running, oil is spraying out of the right side tube through which the clutch activation rod passes, and into the case behind the gear selection box on the right..

Yet the giant breather hose seems to be free (blow and suck okay).

What gives?

More Keyway

Hi Eldert.

Thanks for your comment. There does not appear to be a taper on the shaft- nothing I can see, and of course it is difficult to get in there with a mic to confirm (though I will now try) absent removing the thing. There is a keyway in the alternator rotor though. What's with that ...

Its a widecase

Thanks for that reply-
Its a 1970 450 Scrambler widecase with 6v battery and lights but no signals. Coil, points and condenser, not electronic ignition or magneto. The shaft has no taper, but a shoulder inboard of the alternator rotor, and the rotor has a keyway. My search on exploded diagrams does ...

Reassurance needed- Help!
In my hour of need, I hope someone can help me out:

The crankshaft is not tapered under ...

Thanks Den;

Got her started. Weak spark traced to coils. Do you know where I could get replacement coils or how to upgrade to better ones?

Hi there-

I'm embarking on a restoration of one of these too.

Any parts left over or knowledge of the whereabouts of a shop manual?

Cheers-

Restoring a '78 500 Sport Desmo

Hi folks.

I have a new project. The engine turns over, it is complete, and it is red. That is the good news. The other news is that it sat for 21 years under a deck until this morning, the pipes are not original, the forks are rusty, the choke activator is snapped off, and there are climbing vines ...

916 748 VIN number history

Hi folks:

I'm doing some research and I note that Falloon (Catalog) says production of 916s started at the end of '93, and production of 748s started at the end of '94. Can anyone advise as to the frame numbers of those first units of each model?

Thanks in advance-
