Ive done a search but it will only let me open the first page, so any help would be appreciated.
I have the usual weep from the wires/rubber seal on the generator cover. in all the years ive had zeds ive never managed to get one 100% oil tight . Whats the best sealent to use,
thanks,
peter.

I reckon its pot-luck getting them "leak free"
My bestest Zed has weeped for the 8 yrs I've owned it - after 3 or 4 attempts at sealing it - even with new grommets

Peter,
I picked up this method from other threads on this forum.
I have used it successfully on several occasions.
Parts must be completely oil free, brake cleaner will sort that out!
