Good morning everyone! I've been working on cars with my son and haven't been wrenching in bikes for some time, riding yes, wrenching, no.
Now I have a problem. I'm working on a 1973 Honda CB450 that I brought back from 8 years in storage. It's been running great for about a year. Yesterday it started blowing oil out of the vent tube, lots of oil.
I'm stumped, this is a wet sump engine and all the oil passages are internal. It looks like the cam chest is filling up with oil and coming out the vent.
Any ideas?
