spot on lad
as the pistons go down they have to displace 602cc of oily fumey air as they rise the one way valve closes and so a lower pressure exists inside the engine helping to suck the oil in from the holes in the engine like the cam shaft nose in the points box and either end of the crank

And W is a vowel in Welsh, along with Y, so Welsh has more vowels than English. :)

So if I tube the breather into a bottle do I need to make sure air can get in and out too?

The oil feed pipe bit is worrying - you can't get M4 oil feed pipes!


The head feed pipes were replaced with good ones at the Dutch world meeting ('97, mebbe 1500-2000 miles ago...), after one of the brazed-back-on unions to the big banjos either side of the crank fell off.

It didn't do that.

What it DID do was completely cover the back of the van with oil.

Not IN the back of the van - on the doors

What is that comedy air filter, should the breather be connected back to the carb via the airfilter somehow .


There's no air box in existance for an AK350 with an Ami 6 engine :cry: The ami 6 one is just plain wrong and nothing else will fit between the bonnet and the frankly massive carb!

Taking a pipe either down to road level or into a box will be the way forward, Box would be more eco and sociable :lol:


Yes there is, this has an Ami 6 engine
