Title: Rain water in primary case
Post by: BSA500 on 21.07. 2021 16:30

It rained so hard yesterday at work that water forced its way into the primary case. It may have damaged the chain. Word of warning bought a rubber gasket for the case and it fell apart

What machine is this; it sounds unlikely on an A series bike?

A7, I thought it was not possible until water came out of the primary case drain plug and the rust on the chain. Not condensation way too much. The nitrile gasket fell apart DO NOT USE THESE
