I actually reamed my 10 bolt vent tube out with a very small drill bit and that allowed it to breathe.

on the moser 12 the vent tube is relocated to the left axle tube. its not a normal breather. more like a barbed fitting to put a rubber tube on for a remote vent or something

you have to run a piece of hose (3/8) i think, from the breather and up near the gas tank. find a good place and zip tie it. also make sure you have the right amount of gear oil in the housing. if you have to much even just a little extra, it will vent out the breather hose.

Re-tap, and put in a barbed fitting (brass), get some rubber hose and a worm clamp as well as some zip ties, it just need to be higher then the hole.
