:help: I just put my motor together and fired it up for the 1st time on monday after rebuilding it top to bottom. the jetting isnt even done yet because i havent had the time to work on it this week, but i putted around on it tuesday night for 5 minutes. i took it for a little longer ride last night, like 15 minutes just puttin through the gears down the road and in my yard ( im still breakin it in), and after i got back i smelled hot oil, i looked around a bit and oil was blowin outa the crankcase breather hose ( i have a aluminum airbox with an outerwears lid, for the moment the breather hose just comes up between the carb boots and ends till i get a filter. its not all together yet). i checked the oil in the resivore, which is a oversized aluminum tank and it wasnt on the stick at all, i put in like 3 and a half quarts on that monday, and it checked fine yesterday before i rode it. i added a little bit ( like 1/4 quart) and it still wasnt on the stick. whats happening ( to the best of my knowledge) is the oil is all draining from the resivore and filling the crankcase, to the point that the crankcase is overfull and oil is blowin out the breather.... now is there something i overlooked when i rebuilt this thing, or is there a checkvalve on the return line from the tank. the bottom end was all gone through. new tranny, all new bearings and seals, oil pump and pickup, clutch, water pump... everyhhing... i even replaced the check ball, spring, and seat that are on the clutch cover side... if you have any clue whats happening, even a random guess i would appreciate it if you could help. thanks alot :help:
