[QUOTE="Phil Baker, post: 34475, member: 2693"] OK. Here we go again. Retimed the breather so that it opens and closes at the correct times - when I say 'closes' I mean that there is more resistance to my breathing into the pipe and, on the same planet, open means a lot less resistance to my breathing - and fitted the Burgess silencer. Goes like a freakin' dream. Keen, raunchy LET'S GO BOYS!!!. However.... you note that there is ALWAYS a however, don't you? however, a slight seizure (petered to a stop and felt tight when I tried to kick it tho' it might still have been in gear, thinking about it). Left it five minutes to cool down and it started up again fine and I rode it home. All seemed OK until I looked at the rear tyre and in the oil tank. Lots of oil and not a lot in that order. Started it up and watched what's happening ....... oil is leaving the breather pipe that bends over the top of the dynamo at a fine fast healthy drip (I think we all know how that should be described, don't we children?). So much so that I felt like calling the Yanks with I'VE STRUCK IT!! enthusiasm. Well, gentlemen.... WHY OH WHY OH WHY ME?? Sorry, broke down there just a bit! Any ideas, please? Phil [/QUOTE]
