theres maybe not breathers in pipes...but they might be one way valves inside the original reno pipes????

You mean restrictors within the breather system, there are 2, 1 is between the T piece and the inlet manifold, and the other goes between the swirl pot and the T piece.

Sounds like the restrictor is missing out of the breather pipe that goes to the inlet manifold to the t-piece mate, or the pipe has split.

If the restrictor is missing use a plastic car valve dust cap, make a 1mm hole in the middle & fit it inside the pipe near the t-piece, jobs a good'en.

Yeah just to clarify, the pipes fitted are of a larger diameter and look a bodge job. The restrictors i doubt are there. I used a soldered mig tip on my last engine, seemed to do the trick.
