I have an oil weep round the generator leads rubber grommet, Plse somebody plse tell me if there is supposed to be oil in the generator housing on a 1975 Z900B. If not - how difficult is it to replace the (crankshaft?) seal?
Thanks for any pointers u can give

There is supposed to be oil in there, the problem is the grommet or exiting wiring which can be bought from Z-power.

This is what you need,

usually the grommet but check the neutral switch too. Mine had the grommet harden and leak but also had a loose neutral switch and oil collect in the same place

Always a sod that,oil can weep down the three holes as well that the genny wires go through,you need to get the wires and all the area clean with brake fluid,kawabond is a good sealant to use,no need to drain oil lean bike over on sidestand,might be an idea to do an intro on new here let us know a bit about yourself,Cheers Paul J.
