| -2- To try and overcome this I have fitted a breather to the top of the rocker cover, taking it to the carburetter intake, (i.e. - the same position as designed). we have stopped up the crankcase breather hole as oil pours out. We shall examine the control arms after the mileage this evening. The reason there was no oil was because the oilways had been choked up with grease when fitted up. (Why they used grease I am not prepared to say). STEERING. we are quite satisfied still, with the steering with the rear end of the side steering tube, fitted up without the springs. G.W.H.
