I've just acquired a '73 'B' which hadn't been run for
about 4 years. (Lots' of work to do!!) I changed oil/filter,
did the carbs. etc.,etc. Problem is that very little oil is
getting to the rocker assembly. Oil pressure is better than
60 psi at idle but running at 2000 rpm I get about 1 drop of oil
every 2-3 secs from the screwed plug end of the rocker shaft.
Oil just appears to be 'weeping' out of the rocker arm bushes!!!
Obviously an oil passage is blocked/obstructed. Anybody got any
suggestion on how to clear it?? Brand of Flushing oil?, Kereosene?,
oil/transmission fluid mix?, Coat Hanger?, judicious application
of high explosive???
