i cleaned all the gunk out of the crankcase breather pipe that goes into the oil filler on top of the rocker box
and now the revs have dropped and seem a bit erratic to what they were before i cleaned it, does anyone have
a good idea as to why this is happening?

Probably have not put the pipe back correctly and may have something to do with your other question above.

Don't just clean one pipe;clean the filter and particularly the air-flow restrictor in the system.

i cleaned the oil seperator as well as the pipes,soaked the lot in petrol and blow dried with my 12v tyre pump
runs like a dream, i changed the oil as well but i can still smell oil when its running,the new oil looked thinner than the last lot
but was the same grade

have you damaged/left off any of the vacuum pipes?

If you have the type where the restrictor and filter are built into the cap,it is probably better to buy a new cap.Various types of system were fitted;it depends on the engine used.
