Guys,
my 72 500L was barely running, pulled off the breather hose from the aircleaner and ran great, put the hose back on and it dies.
Changed the oil filler cap and it got a little better but when I gunned the engine with the breather hose off the aircleaner oil spurts out of the hose
pulled the rocker cover off and saw that oil shoots straight up under full pressure from the tube that has the rocker shaft oil feed pipe in it. It's not squirting out of the rocker shaft.
pulled the pipe out and it was clear. Dissassembling the rocker shaft to look for any blockage today.
any thoughts about what this would be is appreciated.
