I have run my '75 rebuild up[ and down the street multiple times now and I'm really happy with the way it pulls. Just a couple of nagging problems before I'm road worthy.
Thanks to Twins and others I have a direction on the oil blow by from the breather head.
The last problem I'm dealing with is drag on the front calliper. I had to go to Mike's for a front calliper (single disc) because the original was so badly rusted out. Problem is, I can't seem to get the inner piston to release all the way when I release the brake lever. Real piss off. Have bled the lines till I'm dizzy on fluid absorption and it refuses to release clear of the disc. The wheel is locked with brakes on but turns stiff when released. Any ideas?
