I think I might even have a can of that! That won’t hurt circuit boards or resisters or solder and such? I was just going to wet a Q tip and gently wipe clean.
Nope. Works good on circuit boards. You could just spray it on and wash the oil off the board.That won’t hurt circuit boards or resisters or solder and such?

Just don't spray the board while it's hot...
Hi, about sealing the oil leak around the counter sprocket.
Once the sprocket is removed, does that spacer, or can that spacer also slide out?
Did you put any Hylomar or Yamabond on either end of the spacer?

And you mentioned you put it on the sprocket. Directly on the back side of the counter sprocket?

Been ponderin' this. Spacer has a rubber seal on the outside, but nothing on the inside. Oil leak pathway seems to be between the inside face of the spacer and the outside face of the shaft bearings inner race. From there out to the sprocket and nut... which ain't gonna stop oil. The threads are just a spiral oil passageway. Mines not leaking, but if it starts, I'll put some sealant between the bearing inner race and the spacer.
Another idea I have is to cut a slight bevel on the inside of the spacer with my lathe and put an o-ring between the inner bearing race and the spacer... Reason being is because I think it's also possible for oil to get past the shaft and inner bearing race. o-ring would squeeze down tight on the shaft and prevent that.

I know I should try harder, but I tend to be a bit philosophical about tiny leaks. Most elderly folks have a bit of incontinence from time to time.
No, I meant that the spacer rides inside the case seal. Sorry for the confusion. The spacer is all metal.Jim , you were saying that you thought that spacer had a rubber face on the exterior. Here is my spacer from a few different angles. Mine is all metal.
My thought is to have the o-ring just fat enough to fill the cavity made by the bevel.... letting the spacer "still" make hard contact against the bearing inner race, with the o-ring sandwiched in between. The bevel would compress it in against the shaft.I would hope that there's sufficient remaining span for the o-ring, not wanting it to set atop the spline reliefs...
