Oil in Carby

Post by someguy » Thu Apr 23, 2009 4:00 pm

Hi Guys.

Over the last couple of weeks I have been getting oil shot up through the carby and into the air filter.

Its only a little bit at a time but I think its probably pretty serious.

A mate thinks its a cracked head?

Anyone else got any ideas?

You need to change the breather system on the left hand side, even with good condition engines this becomes an issue.

Thanks for that mate.

Was worried it was something serious (can't afford a new engine at the moment)

Would this be related to my poor fuel economy aswel. Over the last month or two the best I have been able to get out of a full tank is 380-390KM.
