TRW Wet suping

I'm in the process of re commissioning my recently purchased TRW. Its been asleep for a good few years but cleaned the tank and carb, fitted a battery, put some oil in it and hey presto it started second kick and runs like a sewing machine.
Problem is it is wet sumping with a vengence with oil coming from the valve chest breather I think or behind the sump shield. I have a good oil return flow.
I'm new to Triumph's and would welcome idea's before I start taking things to bits.
Is an oil tap or anti sumping valve/device a good idea ?
Thanks
John

Hi John,
maybe you should check your oil pump.
One off the plungers may leak.

An oil tap is NOT the way to go. At some time in the future, either you, or a future owner WILL forget to turn it on. Then the engine will be knackered. It's a guaranteed death sentence for a dry sump engine.
