[QUOTE="Martyn Goodwin, post: 45472, member: 2433"] OK OK In frustration (should that be a problem removed becomes a problem solved) I decided to remove the Alton and revert to the original Miller generator (with a 12V conversion care of [url]http://www.nanocontrols.co.uk/auto/v-reg2.htm[/url] ) where the steel generator pinion has a shoulder and uses a lipped seal to ensure that the cases remain oil tight without the need to resort to any gasket materials. Given that, with the exception of my 35/35W headlamp my bike is all LED and I run a magneto, the generator is able to cope. Tested over 200 miles over the last 2 days, oil tight and battery remains fully charged. Martyn [/QUOTE]
