Vesuvious runs well until above 1000 revs, then suddenly spouts oil 3 feet up in the air from the vent hose on the bottom of the air filter. And does it without the vacuum created by the well oiled filter. It also looses power and will die quickly if the throttle isn't closed instantly. No unusual mechanical noises as its doing it. Not even the tell tale of a loose rod is heard.
