So she's been sitting for a couple months. Figured since the weather was nice, I'd roll it out and start it to see how the oil retaining spring is doing. Didn't start on the first kick, but wasn't too bad. I had a pan under the vent and it did spit about two tablespoons of oil out.
That's pretty good considering before I screwed with the check valve, it would puke a half quart after a month.
Rode it around the yard and put it back in the garage.
Before I rode it around, I noticed that one of primary main case bolts was loose. I found an allen key for it and checked the rest. All were loose and one is gone. Now they're snug again. That whole thing has to come off so I can inspect the primary, so I'm not too worried about it.
