Hi all,
I've got oil coming from a hose which leads to just above where the reed valves are, It has been sitting for 8 months and has only just been started, it looks like the 2 stroke oil i run,

*Bike is a MC21SE*

Edit 2
Just pulled gearbox filler plug out
Gearbox full off two stroke oil,
I'd Guess a Seal in the pump, Gonna check out parts diagram now

Yep! That's your culprit!

A good clean [degrease] with brake cleaner, and a [very] little Threebond between the seal and the housing, and you'll be good to go.

Is it possible to buy another? andy, might be worth it as seal is probs 20+ years old

Not particularly easily. It's not available from Honda, and it's typically an awkward size.

They rarely cause problems, other than slipping down the drive shaft once in a blue moon. I've never, in 20 years, known the same seal to need "fixing" twice.

If what Andy said fails I have a few spare seals Aky. When I rebuilt my engine recently I used the 3 bond method with a new seal of the same dimensions as the Honda one. No sign of any leaking yet. Let me know and I can send you one. PM me on 2fifty.
