On the dry sump version, the breather hose between the engine and the oil tank connects to the engine at the governor housing, just next to where the throttle-lever goes in. It might be worth looking to see if you have a breather there.

You're right: last week's plug was on the uk.rec.waterways newsgroup. the old memory clearly ain't what it used to be.

When I inherited the care and feeding of the FR2 on Melaleuca, one of the things the previous owner gave me was the contact details for Alan Smith, who was maintaining a register of known FR owners. That register metamorphosed into the mailing list. Does Arun's FR3 have a Lister gearbox too? Cheers, Simon.
