Merlin, they designed the tin chain case to leak, so you know when to put more oil in, long before the monoblanc carb.

Why would any one want to leave a bike idling on the side stand anyway?

In my case, because it is an effort to heave onto the center stand. But I have anchored the side stand spring so that it does not spring up by itself. Cheers, Don.
