Bl65 0145b2 Oil Leak At Tach Drive

[jack clifton]

I Guess I Explained The Problem, Anyway, I Took The Tach Cable Off, Found A Little Gland Seal That Was Pushed Out Almost Off Of The Shaft, Shoved It Back In Around The Shouldered Drive Shaft Of The Tach Drive. I Believe That There Must Be A Metal Spacer, Or I May Have The Wrong Tach Cable. This Is My Suspicion Because The Tach Cable Has A Flair That Is Fairly Large, Maybee The First, The Seal Has Something Else Holding It In. My Engine Manual Is Vague At Best. Any One With A Lycoming 65 Probably Has Had One Of These Seals Leak, Let Me Know , I Would Like To Fix It Before I Fly It. Jack

I found a gland and seal much to my surprise at El Reno Aviation, he shipped it . They have parts for the 0145, that I believe are hard to find. Jack
