Started up my new to me G80 road model and it looks like it has wet sumped big time.
The primary had a good deal of oil in it when I removed the level plug a fair amount of oil came out. I have several Norton's and know that the Norton oil pump will allow the tank to empty if it sits for a long time. Checked the parts book and it looks like there is only a oil slinger to keep oil out of the primary. This is inside the engine and I don't want to split the cases so I am wondering if anyone has ever fitted a real oil seal to stop this problem? Is it even possible and if so what would it take?
