Well finished top en re-build this afternoon, bloody hell, that rear cam rocker cover is a b$*ch to fit.
But fuel in, primed cardb with one or two twists and started second go...Great.
Ran well, sounded great and after warming up, did not appear to blow smoke out pipe, problem cured I hope.
But, (always a 'but'), she is blowing so much oil out crankcase breather could not run it.
Never noticed this before, even when burning oil. I was using a non-return breather that does not seem to be non return any more, so unless this is problem????
Any help appreciated as getting a bit p'ed off at moment.
Pull your oil pump ball and spring and replace them, If it sat awhile they can varnish up and oil will get by. While it's apart clean your oil pump out good too.
