Vince,
Interesting that the leak developed once you put moly in. I just did that on
my 70 Ambo. Nothing coming from the seals but I will keep my eyes on it.
Call Eish or MG Cycle. They are both pretty close to you (Eish in Ohio is
closer I think) and I am sure they can overnight a seal to you. Also....I
believe any of the local dealers should have the parts.....try Parts is
Parts. I think they are in Pa?
By the way...a little leak shouldn't be a problem as long as you keep the
oil level up. Of course it is a bit dirty but at least you can ride while
you wait.
Regards....Ian

My '73 Eldo was fine until I changed the rear drive oil. I put in a little moly and 90 wt gear oil (dino stuff) reassembled the whole thing. It promptly developed a leak which I traced to the large oil seal. the numbers off it are, 70-85-8 Any one know a replacement bearing seal that is readially available? If I call moto International it will take me till the end of the week to get it, and I want to get in some riding time. Thanks-- Vince in NY |
