According to the manual, you just screw the dip stick in on one thread to
check the level.

i have the new ball breather mod and bent the flapper pin over so the air
goes throught the box with no restrictions. Dam that mean there is something
wrong with the engine. Will drop oil out and look for chrome flakes. I was
thinking that I could of put too much oil in. Anyone know how long the eldo
dip stick is ? Do you measure with dip stick out or screwed in ? I wonder if
that much extra oil would make a difference.

Hello Ted and all,

I had the same problem, installed the new beather..helped some but did
not solve the problem. Had good compression in both cylinders 170 left,
165 right. I finally dropped the oil pan and found small particle of
chrome, DAMN!! Pulled the cyliders, left had a very small area about the
size of a dime missing chrome, the right side had about 1/2" missing for
about 3/4 of the way around the cylinder. I ordered all parts and hope
to have her back on the road late next week. Good luck.

Hi Ted,

I was having the same problem...seems that a new breather has help
substantially. I'm with Skip in thinking that the 30 + year old flapper
spring get's weak and allows too much air-oil mist into the breather -
thereby overwhelming its capacity. So, you might just want to give Rick
and Gordon a call Monday morning and see if that doesn't take care of it

for you. You could also perform a leak down test...to see how much is
actually getting past the rings, etc.

Hi Guys Ted up in BC
Got the eldo running good . Thanks to John for his universal and fuel
tap gaskets and to Greg for the alternator and Mark for the brake
backing plate!!! And All of you guys for your great advise, THIS LIST IS

GREAT!!!
Question
0- 60 MPH no oil out of breather vent, 75-80 MPH lots oil comming out
breather!!! Compression warm, 5 cranks, carbs wide open, 160 L and 140 R

PSI, that the problem? Could be too much oil. How long is the eldo dip
stick and do you measure from top case or screw in and measure?
I sure like the way the five speed shifts compared to my 4 speed ambo.
