Aye beezer764,

Is the breather pipe clagged up with 'mayonaisse' or has it perished or hardened? Do you still have the naff rusting clip at the bottom, like I have? Overfilled the oil?

Sorry not to be more creative, but often its the simple things that are worth checking first. ;)

Hope this helps, if not come back on.

All the best, Bill.
