I have a 1973 honda cb350 motorcycle and it is leaking oil where the magneto is located.?

How involved is it to fix the leak. Is it an oil seal and will the engine need to be taken apart to get to the old seal.

Anytime you have to take an engine apart its a big deal.I have a 1973 honda cb350 motorcycle and it is leaking oil where the magneto is located.?
are you talking about that it has oil covering the generator,


because thats normal,


as for leaking from the casing, thats 3 screws to get the outer casing off, and will only reuire a dab of gasket sealer to sort out,


if its leaking from further towards the engine,


then you will have to drain the oil,


and remove another 6 screws, and replace the gasket paper,





have a look at the pic
A magneto cover is usually one of the easiest things to remove and put back on, so good luck finding a new gasket and succes with replacing it. Do take care to remove any and all remains of the old gasket.


PS I don't know if they still have something called 'liquid gasket', that may work too.
