[QUOTE="mike202, post: 604547, member: 17202"] I have a 32/36 progressive carb with an alternator conversion. I still have the original oil filler though. This has the tube that goes down through the tinware as well as the vent upwards which I have fitted to the carb air filter with a pipe. If you say the internal diameter of the vent pipe is 13mm and is not blocked this should be adequate. I don't wish to insult your intelligence, but is the pipe blocked at any point? Is there there too much oil in the engine? Is the dip stick an original one fitting properly? Also, on a separate note you have the discredited braided fuel pipe from the pump to the carb, with the petrol filter between which is not advised. Apologies if you already new this. :) [/QUOTE]
