The breather hose looks good. Need to check the
sending unit but i suspect gas in getting in the oil.
I changed the oil this morning and it was very dark
(greenish tint to it), quite surprised for only 350
miles. It also smelled funky but maybe that's me,
trying to convince myself it's the problem. How can i
test the fuel pump for any leaks ?? Is there a rebuild
kit or should it be replaced ?

I'm running the "B" cam, valves are set to .008 and
.012 - I also had to disconnect to vacuum advance to
the SUs as it would start pinging at part throttle.
I need Solexes on this motor...
