AJS 650 Oil system
Posted: Fri Jun 22, 2001 12:20 pm
I have just taken on the task of looking after my late fathers AJS 650 Model 31 Deluxe (1959). It has been dormant for 9 years or so in my mothers garage and looked after by my brother.
It is in working condition and I have riden it once. I remember my father saying that provided there is a constant feed back to the oil tank then the oil circulation is good. This was the case last week. I started it this week and I have an intermittant flow back to the oil tank and oil now seems to be forcing its way out (I think) of the oil seal surrounding the drive sprocket.
By the suddeness of the problem have I a blocked return feed to the oil tank? or is there something more sinister afoot?
