[QUOTE="Bill Thomas, post: 96653, member: 485"] Hello Ben, These Bikes do sometimes "wet sump ", But mostly after winter layup, But the oil pump returns more than feeds, So after a a few smokey miles, It should have sorted its self. Some of us have to take the small sump drain plug out and drain the oil out , As you say, If there is too much oil in there, It's hard to turn over and smokes bad, Which could mess up a plug. Try and find out if it's a 600 or not. I think your Carb' is a pumper type ?, So every time you twist the throttle, it squirts petrol down the hole ?, I have 36mm ones on my Special, And now I am on 9 to 1 pistons, I was on 12 to 1, Years ago, I have had to stop the squirting, You could just take the small lever out, Where it works on the carb' slide, And try it. Good Luck, Bill. [/QUOTE]
