I got very tired of my new Norton wet sumping every time I went for a ride. Now, some of you are going to say "That PhillySkip is nuts" but this is what I did: I checked out the McMaster Carr catalogue and found a beautiful 3/8 ID "Ball Valve" ....not too large and carefully fitted it in my "feed" line. The valve has about a 2'' thin handle. When the valve is "on" the handle is parallel with the battery box support. I tuck the entire valve behind the support and in this way it can't close. When the valve is in the "off" position it faces the kick starter....you can't miss it sticking out there. On my ignition key I have a large red flag that says "Turn the oil on".
So there you have it ....one man's solution to a nagging problem!.........Fraternally,Skip
