    Would fleetwin’s suggestion work. If I just sprayed a puddle of WD40 on top of the carbon seal, that should run down the vertical groove and then run down and drip out of the hole in the intake. If it does that, then maybe the problem would be crankcase sealing as Chris P suggests. If it does not run out of the hole I could take the intake apart as Frank has done and put a small wire into the passage to the bearing?

    Thank you all and especially Frank.
