You're talking about the left side, correct? There should be oil in there. The right side has the stator and should NOT have oil.
Turbos, Hondas, 4-bangers, what could go wrong?

This bike does not have a "pulser" which in reality is just a modern term for a Magneto.
A Honda VF1000R has a "pulser" to get it started.

The CB750 has an alternator.

Can you tell us what year, and model of CB you have?  Also, which side cover?  "Pulser" is not a term I recognize, though I know Luke stated it is a reference to the magneto/alternator.  Cheers!

If it is the bike shown in your profile,  a DOHC, it is what Honda call a "pulse generator", used to time the pulse to the electronic ignition, each pickup is for one coil which fires two cylinders, either 1 and 4, or 2 and 3. It does run covered in oil. And if you put it on the side stand with the cover off, it all runs out! (Speaking from experience)

+1.  I did the same thing on my old bike.  Lost about a quart of oil before I got the cover back on. Lesson learned: center stand the bike before working on engine in general, and left side cover in particular.
