Run a rubber hose from the nipple on the oil filler tube to one of the nipples at the base of the carb... Most say you need a pcv valve inline to do this, but I'm a rebel. I have never used one, and haven't had any issues. So, choose your poison....

I didn't want to deal with a PCV system since I've got a Weber that will soon have boost blowing through it, so instead I just used a oil filler tube cap with a hole drilled in it that Jeff20B had laying around. It worked; the lung butter is gone.
