Hello Machismo,
I have decided to keep the catch can design except for the hose to the oil air cleaner. I will build a larger catch can which will be placed where my current battery sits so I can get at it easier. I will run all the hoses the same way except I will leave some space at the bottom of the larger can for the mayo to collect. Oil overflow will flow back into Timing Case. I'm not big on blowing it out. There are a lot of folks adding catch cans to modern machines so there must be something to it. I like the idea of separating out the mayo simply because my riding does involve a lot of short trips and the mayo will happen. I will place a breather on top of the new can.
As for the other problems you are getting some good advice from the experts.
Hi there Buckeroo.
Interesting to hear that folks modern machines going for teh catch can. Wonder why!
About the recycling the oil back to the timing case - I got a bad feeling of having some blobs or just sludgy oil getting into the oil tank.
I have decided to keep the stock set up except one change of having the catch can-timing chest line running open and primary line blocked.
I forgot you switched carbs.
I haven't been able to post anything this afternoon for some reason. This is one more try in a series of many one more trys.
(Well, this one finally worked).
Yes the change of carb worked well for me. More mpg per gallons now and good throttle response as well. The old one must have been really worn out.
Saw some pics of your bike, looks just awesome! Hope you will complete the run-in soon and hit the freeways
