[QUOTE="C5Performance, post: 89845, member: 2938"] I can't really answer the dirt question. How much oil is blowing around on your contact points right now? I had a little Honda once that leaked oil into the points area and it refused to run. Do i blame the points for not being "oil proof" or is that part of the challenge of keeping old bikes running? I've never had an optical reader die from a leak but my CB750 and GL1000 dont leak in the points area. Honestly i know of two bikes this scared me on. First one was a CB750 dual overhead cam bike. The owner left the petcock on and it filled his engine with gasoline. Unknown to him, he fired it up and went for a ride. The diluted oil leaked past our adapter seal and the bike quit. He needed to wipe the eye clean with rubbing alcohol once he got home, and then change his oil. It runs fine now. The second one is that sexy little CB175 racer we have on our website. That bike has an oil leak and while racing it at Road America and in Michigan it sprayed oil all over the area where the C5 was located. Fortunately for us it kept going and never missed a beat. I was not happy about it, knowing the oil was spraying all over, but we didnt have the means to fix it at the race track. So there you have it. These ignitions have been used in Harleys, race cars, and VW engines for over 10 years now. If you spring a leak in the ignition area, fix it before it starts to gush oil. [/QUOTE]
