I may have found the issue, the issue being I went full retard when putting things back together.
The front cylinder intake pushrod tube was missing the top o-ring. I pulled it out and stuck one on there. I will take it for a ride to work tomorrow and see how it does. It's only a 3 mile trip at 25 mph. Maybe at lunch I'll be able to take it up to 55 for a mile and see if it blows anything out.

As far as the external breather location I like the look of where it is. I am thinking about running it to a T-fitting and down to 1/4" tubing (like the one on the gas tank overflow line) to between the cylinder and out the same area as the carb overflow tube.
My biggest concern about doing a tube small like that is will it have enough size for air and not cause an issue somehow?
Also trying to figure out a good place to run the line so it's invisible. I could run it up to the upper frame rail and forward and tie it into the zip tie line of wire and stuff so it's blend in there I suppose.

Yup, thought so. Glad you found it before ripping everything else apart like so many tend to do.

That's great, that's awesome!! That'd do it, glad you got that straightened out!

Your location reminded me of something out in my garage, just some old thing hanging around
