Once warm my oil pressure falls below 10psi and the green light comes on at idle.
I feel hot air coming out the oil fill. So I suspect the oil is getting frothy and not able to do it's job.

I have carbs. Timing is adjusted to Pelical artical recommended 34ish* BTDC.

Maybe that's too much?

Just did an oil change to try to remedy this. It's not buring oil.

They say at least 10psi for every 1K RPM. I don't know who "they" is but that's a rule I always run with. I had a similar problem using multiweight oil. I went to a straight 30 weight and it got much better.
