Ok, so I want to reroute my PCV breather hose, and I've looked at the BCRider site, but I just don't get it… 1st - I'm assuming I need a new grommet, since I'm leaking a fair amount of oil there & there's basically no resistance sticking the PCV in it. Once I replace the grommet: The hose goes from the PCV to a T. The other T connections go to the thing that points into the carb (which I turn away from the carb 200 degrees) and then I route the hose that goes under the seat where? I put a filter on it? What's the deal w/ turning the PCV & removing the "barbs". I also don't get what the BC rider site says something about a T by the primary cover. Thanks for the clarification. This seems so simple & I feel so dumb | ||

I was kinda confused too. I ended up cutting down the breather tube and zip tying along the frame under the gas tank. Then I bought a generic crank case breather filter from O'Reillys and put that on the end. So my PCV vents to a tube with a air filter deal on the end. Seems to work pretty good so far. | ||

As for your gromet leaking, from what I understand they all do that a little. Mine seems to lose a little from there. | ||

All breather hoses should be run to a catch container, more especially the transmission breather ... "WHY ???", well when the motor sprocket oil seal goes bad or one makes the mistake of putting too much oil in the transmission and this extra oil gets blown out the transmission breather and it gets on the REAR TIRE you will better understand !!! | ||

All you really need is a hose coming off the PCV valve to the ground (vented to air). No T's, no filter, no nothing. One simple vented hose. A breather can be attached to the end. Why? It filters out any harmful objects that could or might be sucked into the hose on startup only. That's the only time. The rest of the time the hose blows out oil and the filter does a nice job of spraying it out evenly! You can also run it into a catch can. CAUTION: Some Blasts blow a little oil, some blow a lot. So wherever that hose is pointed, filtered or not, may become heavily coated with oil, perhaps in a very short time. If you're using a catch can, it can fill up very quickly. So keep an eye on it. I recommend pointing it low and way back (or into a catch can) until you find out just how much oil you'll be using!! |
