Crank case breather valve
Crank case breather valve
I think that's what it's called. Tube from the crank case to a 4 inch cylinder attached to inside of wing. Been giving me ignition probs.so I'm guessing it's a valve. Any clues for a new/2nd hand one? [email protected]

Re: Crank case breather valve
It sounds like someone has added an aftermarket catch tank. Can you post some photos ?
Also can you describe how it is interfering with the ignition Is the vacuum advance to the distributor fed from this rather than from the carb/ inlet manifold ?

Re: Crank case breather valve
The crankcase breather / PCV valve should not have a pipe going to a remote pot but should be connected to the inlet manifold to allow the engine to burn the excess crankcase gasses.Rosetti wrote: ↑Fri Feb 28, 2020 3:58 pm I think that's what it's called.

The breather system shouldn't have any effect on your timing.

Re: Crank case breather valve

Re: Crank case breather valve
He did say it was a tube from crankcase to cylinder on wing though. But youre right, 4in cylinder on wing + ignition problems + no photos × no replies = more info required.

Re: Crank case breather valve
I fear we may never hear the full saga unfold as Mr Rossetti seems determined to be a 1 post wonder.
Asks a question but doesnt want to hang around the forum for long enough to hear any answers.
