Had to reconnect the heater as it started pumping out oil while cranking the motor. Looks like the tap doesn't do a hell of a lot at the moment as all I could manage was shutting off the line directly attached to the tap, however the line I assumed was the return was also pumping out oil so I have no idea what's going on there (possible connected to the wrong side of the oil cooler? it's bolted to the same side as the 'inlet' heater pipe). I've got the battery/airbox sitting on top of the bike rather than seated/bolted in, so I should still be able to get at the carbs for sync/adjustments.
Just waiting for the battery to charge as I had drained it a bit cycling the engine without the plugs in to prime the carbs.
BTW while cycling the engine, when I'd let go of the starter there is a ratchet-like noise as the starter spins down and stops - is this normal or is it something like the sprag wearing out?
