I'm wondering if it's okay to cut the vacuum line on one of the carb inlets to insert a scottolier activator which uses the vacuum when the engine turns on to open a valve and keep it open until the engine switches off:
"Fitting the Scottoiler system first entails finding the vacuum connection. All engines will have a vacuum, and most have a vacuum connection on or near the inlet tracts to balance the fuel injection system. The Scottoiler uses this vacuum to move 3cc of air. It’s used once, when you initially start the engine, lifting a valve inside the oiler. It will not affect the running of the bike if installed correctly as the vacuum side is separated from oil side of oiler by a diaphragm"
I used the scottolier on my previous bike and was well pleased with the result so really hoping to get it working on the Cb1100!
