I wondered about that, but didn't want to say so because I saw that the oil lines to the filter were the smaller lines like the bypass setup rather than your large lines for full flow. The other puzzle is now the air filter that you say should be a paper element, were the paper element ones made for the slipon carb or only the screwdown carb? I wondered about the throttle linkage not passing just below the water outlet from the head, possibly removed for maintenance but I didn't see mounting holes when I first looked (I didn't notice 6 bolt rims so perhaps wasn't looking carefully enough).
