Model 14 oil leak

Post by Dixie1 »

I have a 1960 AJS 250 lightweight and was wondering if anyone has got a cure to stop the oil getting past the deflector plate behind the clutch basket. Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks. Robert

Try less oil in the primary case. They all do that, sir... ;)

You only need just enough oil in there for the primary chain to "just" touch the oil. Any more and it gets thrown around at speed and dribbles down the back.
