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?

    What sort of rallies is it for? That will determine the answer.

    I forget how its wored for now, but think theres instructions on here somewhere on how to wire it... I did it about 18 months ago, and never left my lights on since :)

    Dont quote me, but I think its wored between lighting circuit behind dashboard/binnacle and then just earthed....
