Return Oil modification By Rickard Nebrer
This is a thing that I have read in BSA OC (UK) magazine,
and have worked very well for me under approx 10 year´s.
This is a the problem with the B50 OIF design.
The lower part of the frame ( under the seat ) is lower than the steering head
and the oil take-off is at the bottom of the front down tube.
The oil in the lower part of the frame is newer used.
This is how to fix that.
Picture 1
Connect outlet C and B with a T under the engine.
Use a double male brake pipe on the frame and a female connection with a pipe. ( picture 2 )
Picture 2
A: Rear oil drain on frame
B: Upper part have the same thread as in the frame. 3/8" UNF Male brake tube adaptor
Lower part have same thread as C
C: This part is the female connection
D: This is a brake pipe
E: This is the double male (B) brake pipe seen from top.
