[QUOTE="Gary Gittleson, post: 92318, member: 3625"] I'm going to try to answer the questions raised. 1) I am using 20w50 Valvoline oil 2) I thought of piping the chain oiler to a T fitting at the existing breather but that might pump more oil into the one-way valve that it would like. I don't like lots of breathers around either but I the caps over the valves are pretty hidden under the tank and the hoses are pretty well hidden too. 3) I checked the tank for leaks with petrol. No problem there. I did try a bit of that leak-finding dye. After a 100 mile ride, it shows up all over the rear of the tank, down onto the RFM etc. So what of that article I mentioned? I don't quite see why one would need to plug the adjuster hole down below, instead of just screwing the thing all the way down. I can actually see the second hole in the block. I like the look of David's "carb slide" device. [/QUOTE]
