Catchtank or no catch tank on the 1380, that is the question!

    Not really any downsides to putting one in, do you have much oil coming through the breathers now?

    Can't say i've noticed much oil through the pipes, currently got both breathers plumbed into the carb, but wondering if a can is a better solution for the engines health?

    It'll only help if you're getting oil through the breathers and into the engine. You could try one and see if you're getting any oil trapped?

    must be using really low quality bulbs, or have a wiring fault to go though that many. :()

Any idea how long oil takes to burn off from the inside of the exhaust? Just replaced the shot valve guides and it's still smoking (though not as severe)
