Ok, I have just looked at the bottom of the pannier that was on the left hand side of my Comet, and it is SOAKED with oil that must have come out of either the engine breather, or the clutch mainshaft hole.
To say that I am sick of this bloody Comet is now putting it exceedingly lightly. Three sodding rebuilds and the thing is pumping oil out of it faster than I'm putting petrol into it.
I never had this problem while running an Elephant trunk the first time round, but I just don't like the aesthetics of it. Could someone tell me who makes the following engine breather and whether it can be fitted with a straight Britax crashbar in the sidecar lug?
Having had the barrel rebored a second time with new pistons and suffering this problem again, I can only come to the conclusion that the standard breather channel is heavily restricted on my bike.
