Breather Question

Forums

I recently installed a Mikuni single carb on my Mk III and don't know what I should do with the breathe hose from the oil tank- do I vent it to the atmosphere with a little air filter or do I plumb it into my new air filter/carb intake or something else?

Thanks, Adlai Jourdin

Hi Adlai - I've fitted velocity stacks to my Concentrics and have fitted a neat stainless steel U bend adaptor to re-route the breather that used to mist into the air box to the rear mudguard. If you want a photo and details of where to buy the adaptor (3/8" O.D.) send me a private message. I have no experience of any carbs other than Amals I'm afraid (I hope Ogri is listening).

I raised a similar question and got a number of suggestions.

If you look at the conversation list, about 6 below yours is one entitled 'breather pipe venting oil' I have yet to do anything so cannot give you first hand advice but its food for thought anyway.

Cheers

Andy
