The manual I have says there should be 4 bolts holding the Valve Tappet Cover in place. Mine has only 2 (and there does not appear to be any place for 2 others). It also has a copper tube the comes out and makes a 90 degree turn, but does not appear to connect to anything. Anyone out there have the same configuration? What's the purpose of this copper tube?

Thanks,

Keysdiver

The copper tube is the crankcase breather. It should end just in front of the flame trap on the carb. A lot of P60's have 2 bolts holding on the tappet cover.
Hope this helps

Ernie,

Thanks for the info. Mine looks to be kinda bent up, I'll see what I can do about reshaping it.
