    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Tach gasket/seal on engine block

I have a leaky tach connection where it attaches to the block of my 78 gs750e. So bad, that it is now dripping. Anyone want to get rid of one or know where I can buy just the o-ring/gasket/seal that goes in there?
 
I got one for my 1100G last year. It has a small o-ring and a cone shaped washer in the kit. I got it from a semi-local dealer for about &12.00 bucks.

Takes about 10 minutes to install.

Mine was doing the same thing. There are two o-rings you'll need. One is typical looking and the other has a flat face to it. Right from the dealer they weren't more than 6-8 dollars. No more leaks.
 
I just stuck an O-ring on.

I didn't want to take my cam cover off, so I used an o-ring in the cable itself. I unscrewed the cable and put an o-ring beteween the threaded part and the flange. I also put some teflon tape on the threads. This did the trick. I will be doing a valve adjustment. At that point I will get the right seal kit for the tach gear. Untill then the o-ring is holding back the flow at the cable itself.
