oil in distributor

SMTA · Jun 28, 2011

I have a Super Mta with electronic igintion, and oil is geting into the distriubtor. Any ideas where it is coming form and what I need to do to stop it. I bought the dist. about a year ago. The entire dist. shaft etc eveything is new. Slide the old one out put this one in.

Thanks

Most likely it's hydraulic oil leaking from the live pump pump. The oil is filling the distributor drive housing (gear box) then following the shaft back into the distributor.

Only fix is to replace the rear seal on the hyd pump.

Good chance the pump's also leaking oil from the front seal into the crankcase - good idea to replace BOTH pump seals.
