Got my 62-1 on last sunday and have had lots of oil seeping out of the Center Cartridge. I was told by Igy that it's because the hole in the restrictor plate for the oil inlet is too big.



My question is....



WHAT SIZE HOLE SHOULD I BE DRILLING THEN?

Technically thats the supply line.



I'm poor, so I just cut the vacuum line off mine at the spot welds or whatever they are.
