No, that's anything BUT ok ...

The crankcase can have positive pressure depending on the engine RPM, meaning, you will blow oil vapors into your gastank.

The tank vent needs to be routed to the air intake, preferably BEFORE the air filter.


The head vents can be routed to a oil catch can, like the one i used on my 2056:

PS: We still haven't seen any pictures of your setup.

None of the after market carbs are setup for the tank breather. You'll have to make your own connectors.

As mentioned earlier, the gas vent line should not be connected to the head. Both heads should vent to a catch can and then back to the oil filler or to the air cleaners.

That style of BB is not a sealed unit. There are little stand offs on the top. There is a foam filter inside that helps trap the oil vapors, the puddle of oils forms on the bottom, and runs out of the 2 side ports. The foam trap should squeezed occasionally to rid it of oil. You can also plumb the 2 side ports to the head vents as they are open to the valve train area and let gravity do the work.

If you follow the arrows. The hose on the fan shroud pushes air thru the canister, picking up the fuel fumes, then into the carbs.

That's close but still wrong.
The blow through for the C. canister should be a separate hose to the air filter. Fuel venting and crankcase venting should never meet.

Thanks - I'll work on that next time I'm in there. If I move all crankcase vent to 1 carb and fuel vent to the other; will that be OK?
