I did a rejet on my scoot with uni filter. I made a temporary can but wonder what other people have done.  Do I put the tube from valve cover and the exhaust vent tube in the can? Or is it better to put oil tube in one small bottle and put a small filter for the exhaust vent tube?
Thanks for any suggestions

Go to the auto parts store and get 5 or 6 feet of 1/4 inch fuel line and run the vent tube all the way up the frame and down the rear splash guard so it vents out the back. Having it run uphill on the frame will keep the oil from spewing out but if a little does come out it will drop on the ground behind you. It won't amount to much. You can drill two small holes about 3/4 of an inch apart in the rear splash guard and run a zip tie through them and around the tube to hold the tube in place. I did my blue scooter like that.  

Ride your scooter to my shop with the fuel line and I'll show you how to do it for a 6 pack of Coronas.  Cool  We can plug off that smog crap while were at it. Tomorrow I have to got to Los Alamitos in the morning but I'll be back by 1 or 2 PM.

Oh yeah I read that post you had.  But what should I do with vent for exhaust?  I rode it without anything covering the tube and could smell the fumes, so I took a coffee filter and folded it over the hose and that fixed the smell of fumes. I am just wondering i should do with this... If I block it does it put more strain on the engine?

No extra strain. Like I said I'll do it for a 6-pack.

If you want me to come to your place it's gonna cost you a 12'er.   Cheesy

Thanks for the input Dave. I can handle this one, but will remember to bring a twelver when the more challenging problems arise!
