Are I got it to fire after reading the manual twice. But after it ran for two or three minutes oil started running out of the filter housing

I guess just to make sense of it. If I put up a post about tuning my bike and then start talking about masking the tank off for a paint job, people are gonna be like WTF??

Was away for the holiday. But anyway I've been building my bike for about a year. I stripped it down completely and powder coated the frame red. With a little gold and some black. I done a top end overhaul with a big bore kit and a Carb rebuild. But I have no top end. It runs fine from 10 to 30 MPH but that's it. I'm new to bikes and this is my first build. I need some input badly!!!
