Hi mesaflyer,
Many ways to skin a cat? A method I use with my Saitos is to run a short loop (<2") of 1/8" brass tube fixed to the fire wall so the end is at the mouth of the carby and use fuel tube from the breather to the tube. In this way the oil is recycled through the motor and only exits from the exhaust. Dramatically reduces the grunge and cleaning time.
I saw this method written up in an article from Brian Winch (Oz engine guru, see Oz Airborne or British RCME magazines), I had my doubts but gave it a try and it works fine.
Cheers,
Colin
Many ways to skin a cat, and I'll bet the cat doesn't like any of them

This is an idea I will have to try. Does ALL of the oil that comes out of the brass tube end up going through the carb, into the engine, and out of the exhaust? If it does, I would think this would be the "standard way" to run the vent line. Only thing I would have a problem with would be if the oil didn't make it to the carb, it would end up all over under the cowl.
