Whatn kind of cap? Lever type or screw on? The latter I believe has
vented and unvented versions. My particular lever one has a small hole
in it. A couple drops get on the cap when the tank is totally full. But
no guarantees how original that hole is...

Wasn't there something about some filer necks having slots inside the
tank to prevent this?

My Eldo vapor locks when gas is at a certain level. Today, riding with
Keith Ruff, I stalled a couple times in fourth and fifth gear. The
quick fix is to crack the gas cap as it's ready to choke out, and a
couple seconds later it's cruising great. Is there a cap with a small
hole available, or can I drill a small one myself? Anyone else have this
happen? It's usually after I get gas.
