Well I found the problem and thank goodness it was something so very simple. I had mentioned in my earlier post that the breather vent tube was clear. Well it was clear, I could blow air through it just fine, however it was kinked just below the metal tray that the air filter sits on! The previous owner had mentioned that he'd changed out the oil pressure sending unit but I didn't give it much thought until my brother came out with his compression tester and we were just looking things over and comparing my old 1863 to this new one. Thats when we noticed that the vent tube on the new one was barely sticking through that metal tray. Sure enough, took the tray loose and you could see that it was really kinked, the PO hadn't pulled the tube up enough to where the built in grommet would engage the metal tray. Pulled it up like it should be and no more oil puking!! Kinda feel a little stupid that I didn't pull that tray to check things out but I figured when I stuck my mount on that tube and blew on it that it wasn't clogged, all was good. Well as it turns out all wasn't good but it sure was a cheap fix!!!
