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:

Coming from a two-wheeled road user yes go for the remote box method :shock: :lol:

So why does the breather spit oil?

as far as o lmpw (probably wrong )
when the engine "breaths" the flap inside lets the air out or in, presumably out, so it spits oil as it blows out

waiting my dressing down for being being wrong ;)

Nah cheers James that'll suit me. Just had a little look. There's a very wet looking oil feed pipe on the right hand side, at the front of the engine - i guess this is what was filling the heat exchanger up.

So is it possible its just not tight enough or something?
