gennelmen I have been making progress on my 72/73 commando project....the latest 'curseathon' involved oil return...I plumbed oil lines per old brits diagram..with intake hose on engine unhooked I pumped oil from a can into the tube on engine as I kicked it over,,,,i left oil filter off..i put the oil can to use until I saw oil drizzling out of filter head..then put new filter on and reconnected oil line to engine intake pipe and put about half a quart in (empty) oil tank...I proceeded to kick and kick with sparkplugs out but still no sign on oil return to tank....how many kicks does it take? I even unhooked hose from filter to tank and kicked just to make sure no kinks making blockage...still no oil return from that hose ...I must have kicked 100 times
thanks
