[QUOTE="A Nut, post: 154370, member: 2005"] Hi Peter, Thanks for that and the photos. I had to manufacture my own D tank as I could not find a second hand one when I made my Victor and decided not to make a chain oiler. I have suffered with oil mist (lots) ever since building it and like yourself tried reducing the level but it didn't help. I currently have a piece of sponge between the cap and seat base which I have to change regularly (definite bodge). Must go out to the garage to manufacture a deflector. The only bike I have with a 2 start pump is my Shadow and years ago suffered with oil issuing from the breather hole when thrashing it. I cured that by screwing a small deflector under the chain oiler spring. I can still just see the oil flowing beneath it and can check the oil level. Still didn't learn! Brian [/QUOTE]
