under the igniter boxes.
It appears the potting compound in the boxes is melting.
Any ideas on what would cause this?
 
I see your title now, '81 CB650, yep, just put that out of your head, per Gene, DOHC Custom forum. Search on that forum before you ask, that's the way Gene runs it. One of the best forums on the internet. Gene doesn't let any bad info on the forum. Only proper terms via Honda are used there. That doesn't mean that you can't change his mind about a subject.

"Search on the forum before you ask...." Yes indeedy, Scott! There's truth in the old proverb that giving a man a fish will feed him for a day, but teaching him to fish will feed him for a lifetime (and that's why I'll tell folks where to look for what they need to know, but won't post a link). I find it really odd that guys who want to do DIY work on their own iron post questions that have been asked and answered dozens of times without doing DIY search work first. It used to tick me off, now it only makes me scratch my head.
