Hi, Is it correct that there is nothing preventing oil getting out and dirt getting into the Primary case on a Comet 500? The slotted hole that the Burman shaft pokes into Primary case is totally unsealed right? Also, given the close proximity of oil and clutch components, is the Comet clutch...

Hi, New member here, recently bought a 1950 Comet which I am currently pulling to bits :) Whats the generally accepted method to retrofit a cutout switch to a Comet that has the Lucas K1F magneto? This magneto has the bakelite/plastic points cap that is held in place centrally by a spring...
