1931 gas cap question

Should the gas cap have a hole in it for breathing? Mine does not and I believe it is causing fuel feed issues. Have any of you rebuilt the AC fuel pump for these cars. It is my undersanding that I should take it appart and replace all rubber with viton ? Also ...it seems to me that I have heard something about there being some sort of baffle in the intake manifold, just above the carb that can cause problems. Is this true?:confused:

Thanks, Rick

Yes, it should have a hole and yes, there could be an opening on the inside of the manifold between the manifold and engine. My DH6 has a hole there that I did not know about and had to be plugged.
