Has anyone successfully tapped the inner timing cover and fitted a grease nipple to pump in grease to lube the dynamo chain
Thanks

Why would you bother? The chain gets plenty of lubrication if it is packed properly with the correct grease.

G'day Erico,
.
To answer the question, yes. A new girl in my club has a long stroke with that done. I'm not sure what greese it was but what a mess when I took the cover off
.
I agree with Trev.
Cheers

Thanks for the welcome guys. The reason I asked the question is I've rebuilt the engine and only smeared a bit of grease on the chain. Its oil tight and after having to do everything twice because of rubbish gaskets slipping and sliding out of all the joints. I don't want to take things apart again. I just want ride the thing. I've flattened off all mating joints on a surface plate with WD40 and fine wet and dry. Red instant gasket give that old timer look and works a treat, no leaks. Talk soon
