The only thing that I can help you with is checking the oil. If you look, one of the petcocks will be higher up on the pan than the other. It is the one toward the front on my Super A. The upper petcock is like the full mark on a dipstick. The lower one is like the quart low mark on a dipstick. If you open the upper one and a little oil drips out, you are full. If a lot runs out fast, you are over full, leave it open and drain some off. If none comes out, open the lower petcock. If some runs out, you should be ok for now. If none comes out, you are low, add some oil. You are correct, the oil goes in the tube under the breather cap. On my SA it is marked OIL, don't know about an A. Maybe not exactly as the books will explain, but thats how it was explained to me. Hope this helps a little. Kevin
