and replaced the intake runner gaskets, and, and , and, until finally, just like stevej37 said, I gave up and thought to just live with it that way .
( I even secretly messed with the mixture, don't tell anyone )

I was so happy to see this post and finally discover the answer to my dilemma !


I got one of these from our host



and I've always wondered why there was a handy split with clamps on that hose?



So I removed all the clamps the other day, and removed the shorty piece, and looked into both hoses with a flashlight, oops, no, no restrictor!
It seems that a PO or retarded shop removed it way long ago, before I had it.

I took it apart again today, and jammed the restrictor into the shorty hose, see the bulge at the red arrow,
and ha ha, now I can check my oil correctly, while it's running, and Not stall, die !

I think this should be a sticky, required reading, how can we not know this ?
Now if someone searches, here you go, here's a big answer, thanks Ivan !

Best $25.00 upgrade ever.

Scott,

These are the two (2) different air restrictors you will find in SC CIS motors. The elbow type for the early models and the bell shaped for later SC’s. They are installed at different locations or spots as you would notice. The elbow type air restrictor/flame suppressor is installed by the CIS rubber boot (peanut) closer to cylinder 1-2-3. If you install it at the wrong spot (closer to cylinder 4-5-6), you would experience starting problem.
