Oil in H Distributor

Posted by Clarkbug on March 23, 2008 at 06:08:50 from (209.23.9.35):

Hello All.

So a few days back I asked about what oil to put in the generator and starter oil cups, and thought that I needed some for the distributor as well.

Turns out I didnt need any at all... :(

I went to change out all the various parts of the ignition system (plugs, wires, cap rotor, points, condenser) and as soon as I pulled the breaker cover I knew I had a problem. Everything was covered in oil, which is probably part of why she wasnt running so well. (The fact that the plug wires, cap, and rotor were original to the tractor probably didnt help)

Im still new at this, but Im pretty sure that those breaker points are supposed to stay happy and dry, not covered in oil.

So how big of a deal is it to seal up whatever is leaking in this thing? Do I just use o-rings, or is there an actual oil seal or two I need to hunt down? Its a battery ignition distributor, not the one off of a mag, if that matters.

Thanks in advance!
