I have a friend who was molding his own and planning on eventually selling them. I'll check in with him and see if he's made any progress


Found one listed on eBay. It's brand new. Maybe you can get lucky and find another one (your bikes a twin right?).

Is your petcock working properly in the off position? Check your oil level and see if its too high. Also open the oil fill cap and smell for gas in the crankcase. Change the oil if does (after making sure your petcock is in working order). Then you should also make sure that your float levels are set properly and your float needle and seat are functioning properly.

That oil was blowing out the vent tube. Didn't think to go thru the fluids until I was sure it ran. So how do you flush an engine??

Simply do an oil change, filter and all (assuming you have gas contaminated oil). Did you confirm you have gas in your oil (crankcase)? Did you check the oil level. My level was good and then rose due to the extra fuel that made it into the crankcase. I could also smell it from the filler cap hole. Is that what you are experiencing? If so, fix your fuel issue first then worry about change the oil.
