    Can anybody help me? I have a 2001 bonnie with an over productive breather system. The oil has built up so much in the air filter box that the filter has been clogged. I have diverted the pipe but this is not the cure. Is there a mod for the breather system? Also there is a flat spot at about 60mph which seems like too rich mixture. Can I lower the needle in the throttle slide? Thanks in advance, Lloydie-boy

    Thanks for that. I've looked at the RAT forum link and looks like I'd better go and get new seal and primary gasket.
