Gooping from the air cleaner, possible fix?
#61
I've been busy painting inside my home and haven't had time to take some pictures but I'll try my best over the weekend.

I did It!! I got about 6 feet of 1/4 fuel line. But I ran it uphill for the first 6 inches or so, over the top of the rear rocker box and then down to the frame...I am hoping that will allow any oil to drain back into the heads and not be lost. What do you think? Maybe it will do so on a short ride?? Maybe not at all! But at least it is not poisioning my air flow into my intake. While I was giving Ya'll a hard time...I did remember seeing a pic (I think on this forum) of a piston that the top was covered in carbon. and he said he only had like 15 or 20 K on it. THANKS

Hogster you are better off to leave it stock than run that set up. Come out the rockers and go straight to the ground or catch can.. Have you ever seen what collects and comes out, it ain't a pretty sight does not resemble oil. Not to mention all the acidic water vapor you are condensing and pouring back into your motor.

I had the gooping issue with my Fuel Motot aircleaner, replaced it with the BiG Sucker and the problem is GONE!

but a minuscule amount. There are always some amount of condensation. BUT I THINK it to be less a detriment to my system if it is vented out instead to be driping out on my engine

what causes this is the lack of oil flow back down into the motor from the rocker boxes. Winds up in your intake.
The only true fix for this is taking the rocker boxes off, taking off the rocker arm support plate, drilling out the small drain holes
I don't recall the exact sizes but for some reason when I did mine I think it was a 1/16" hole stock, I drilled it out to 1/8", then took a 1/4" bit and only rounded the edges of the holes
