[QUOTE="Peter Holmes, post: 108852, member: 302"] You do not have too many choices with this problem, you either drain the crankcases when you want to use the bike next, and every time thereafter, it is not a good idea to try and start the engine and rely on the scavenge pump, or fit an anti wet sump device as supplied by Conway Motors, these devices always make me nervous, but lots of Vincent owners use them, you could simply fit an on/off tap in the oil feed line, but don't forget to turn it on or you will facing a big rebuild bill, finally you could tear down the entire engine and get a new oil pump and sleeve matched and fitted to the crankcases, but a word of warning, I had my engine rebuilt by one of the best, no longer with us, but the business remains, and given about a month my bike wet sumps.
