Hi Peter I had a similar fault a couple of years ago so the details are sketchy. What I remember was that the breather valve was faulty and I discovered it by spraying brake cleaner around the hose at the rocker cover end. The replacement valve cured it but I never found out why the brake cleaner had such an effect without removing the hose. Perhaps the breather hose wasn't sealing properly at the rocker cover end? As a temporary cure, while waiting for the new valve, I restricted the hose with a plug and drilled the hole a bit bigger untill it ran smoothly. HTH's Bryan.
