Puncture it or find a different cap that fits with bigger vent holes. I've had the same problem with my 89 lx build. Took off the cap when riding and it's fine. So I took a chisel and punctured it one time and haven't had an issue since minus fuel leaking when it's full.

Another option is to use a reservoir in between the tank and carb.
