May 18, 201016 yr Hello all- I am new here and have a question. On the fill plug for the clutch cover there is a hose that runs up towards the top of the head. Mine likes to spew oil out of that hose and makes a mess. Has anyone else encountered this? My manual says 300cc of oil in the clutch side (maybe that's too much?). The only other thing I can think of is maybe the crank seal is letting pressure from the crankcase in. The bike runs beautiful and always starts easy. I was thinking of adding some sort of foam breather to the top of the hose. Any help would be appreciated. Also another quick question- is the model 199A supposed to have an aluminum skidplate? Mine has a steel one.
May 18, 201016 yr 300cc is correct and yes they do spew oil out of the vent as mine does the same. Presumably it gets thrown of the basket/chain. You can put a much longer hose on it so the oil never gets to the end. I have thought about moving it out of the throw of the chain but the longer hose seems to work for now.
May 18, 201016 yr Yes 300cc is correct - TQF is best Make sure breather pipe is long enough to wedge in between fins - between head and top cylinder All Bultaco with solid sump plates were alloy or alloy based - steel was only on the mesh type sump plates up to & inc 78
