Hi 101 members, just finished my 1928 101 and I have noticed that when driving at 45-55 mph oil is getting pushed out of the generator gear, and is getting on the battery box and surrounding area. 

I talked to Kent Thompson and he said there was a service shot of that issue and a repair recommendation. If any one is looking for parts, or advice, Kent Thompson has been a great resource. 

If anyone has that service shot if they could email it to me I would greatly appreciate it.

Here is a photo of my 101. Im also looking for a 1931 project if anyone knows of one. Thanks, Wayne

Hopefully that link will help cure your problem, Wayne.That usually works better than installing a seal, which is irreversable, and wil blow anyway when bearing gets worn.

Also a possibility that the crankcase pressure is affecting primary and tranny. Is your timing case breather working well?

Good to know, thanks Wayne.

Got any pics of it misaligned we can use for the club magazine ?

Quick question. I am new to the forum and have only had my 101 for a few months.  I recently rode mine for a 60 mile return journey and although the bike ran well it leaked a lot of oil from the generator drive wheel area. I would like to take it out but do not know if there is a 'trick' to getting the pulley and pedestal off. There are the four bolts that hold it on and I removed them but it doesn't budge even when tapped with a rubber mallet. Can someone confirm for me that there is no hidden fasteners internal I need to remove or if I am just dealing with a very stuck part that needs more aggressive tapping?
