[QUOTE="Marcus Bowden, post: 110823, member: 3287"] Jim my handsome, The main reason owners fit ASV valves is that they do not use them enough, leave the ASV out of service check the sump quantity by draining after a run. If the pump is in reasonable condition the bikes shoud be able to stand a month. When it's left for a week and not drained after the previous run then measure and you will see how much it sumps, then two & three week intervals and you will get to know the bike. I do not have to drain my "B" any more as I'm retired but when at sea and away six months I had to drain before using but kick over first so B/E is swomped in oil. On "A's" it is a gear p/p always sump so I fitted a bell crank onto my petrol tap and a link rod to the oil tap so they are both on or off.
