so i am wondering what this tube is.
it is on the upper right of the engine, just to the inside of the valve adjustment cap.
1980 xs400 g or sg, i think
looks to be made of copper or brass. the end looks like it should be open, but the PO filled it with some sort of rubber caulking (possible to keep it from leaking?)
so i dont want to take out the rubber filling until i know what it is.
in the manual, it looks like it might be for the "gear pinion," but i cannot find any info on what this does. if this is also what this tube is for, then it looks liek i am missing the gear pinion itself.
any ideas?
thanks!
