I have a 1973 CB350 and it was running okay, I gave it a tune up, an oil change, cleaned the carbs and now as I've dug a little deeper this year, I've found oil pouring out when I take off the stator cover. Is this supposed to happen?reply

Thanks! I was about to panic! Now I just have to figure out why it won't start up. I'll start the hard work now I guess.
