Re: oil

Can you tell what kind of oil it is? If it's gear oil, you need to address that asap. If it's tc-w3 then you might need to do a general tune-up starting with the right plugs and make sure they are gapped correctly. How does the motor run other than the oil issue?

Re: oil

Do you have oil injection? Have you checked consumption? What, exactly, makes you think too much oil is going over the side?

Re: oil

Have you checked consumption? What is it???

BTW, air in the fuel side will cause overoiling, which is why I asked about actual oil consumption. It make the pump think more gas is flowing than actually is and oils accordingly. You may have replaced a good pump. Air can be introduced by a cracked fuel line, clamp not tight, etc., etc.
