[QUOTE="craig, post: 53683, member: 1959"] Thanks to all on this, Stumpy it is a stock oil pump, David your photo is golden thank you, Merc I don't know where the screw would go, Peter the standard breather tube is working fine, Greg the chain oiler tube is plugged off at tank 1/4 bsp. I rubber banded a folded paper towel over the cap and at speed the venting was much less........so I think it is combination of too much oil in the neck from pump splashing at the cap, and a low pressure outside caused by 70+ speed. I thought about a motocross type tubing vent added to cap and tubed elsewhere. But if you look at David's photo....it all becomes clear. I am pretty sure a "C" oil pump/tank will do same at high speeds. Thanks to all, you are all a treasure. Cheers Craig [/QUOTE]
