My engine kept cutting out, realised that my gas cap was air tight which was blocking fuel flow.
Found brief reference in an old post on the forum about installing a breather from a dirtbike so I ordered one from eBay. Thought some picture's might help people out. I have a small lathe which makes it easier but this could be done with basic hand tools.
Drilled center of gas cap - pilot hole first.
This is the hose coupler I bought from local hardware store, I just picked one I thought would work best.
Then drilled out the gas tank hole to just a bit smaller than the diameter of the coupler.
And shortened the coupler, also turning it down to match the hole in gas cap.
Roughed up both surfaces with a bit of sandpaper and epoxied them together.
And after a few hour's attached the eBay breather (I ended up removing the tip of the coupler because it was a bit longer than neccessary).
