Drill a tiny (like .5 - 1 mm) hole in the top. Just
remember to not fill your tank too much or it will come
out a bit on your tank. If you really wanted to, you
could put an overflow tube on it, but that wouldn't look
too good.

no guarantees how original that hole is...

Wasn't there something about some filer necks having
slots inside the
tank to prevent this?

My Eldo vapor locks when gas is at a certain level.
Today, riding with
Keith Ruff, I stalled a couple times in fourth and fifth
gear. The
quick fix is to crack the gas cap as it's ready to choke
out, and a
couple seconds later it's cruising great. Is there a
cap with a small
hole available, or can I drill a small one myself?
Anyone else have this
happen? It's usually after I get gas.
