I assume the port should be drilled on the carburetor side of the air
filter, not outside the filter, as the port on the original carb was
just inside the choke vane. One respondent said that was incorrect
design because it would allow oil to be drawn through the carb,
thus fouling the plug and making the engine smoke. May I have
clarification on this?
Thanks for your help!
