Hi all

Anyone know of a good place (like ebay!!) to get an oil catch tank? Does anyone have any pics of one in situ?

Thanks

Johnny

sits between breathers and carb so none of the carp goes into carb or onto road / track if breathers arnt connected.

for ease, make sure you pick one up with a visual gauge. much easier than having it leak everywhere once it fills up. If you can, see if it has an outlet on the bottom too so you can use a tap to drain it (rather than take it off to drain it)

if you do fit it in series with the carb then it must be air tight.

with the breathers - you either connected them all to the carb in an air tight fashion - or block the carb 'nipple' off and vent the breathers to air / catch tank.

dont have one breather to 'air' and the other to the carb as you'll create a massive air leak - the carb will draw air through the open breather, through the crank case and through the carb-connected breather into the carb - not good!

TTFN,
Dave
