Default Big Thanks to Peter@ Spec-R
Mark was mapping Yum the other week and we had problems with the breather, come to think its aways been a problem l remember the guys at Santa Pod getting upset.

So l sent it to Peter at Spec-R because he had Rods breather there and its the same design, so after Peter had cut both of the open he found the problem.

So l got him to Make me another one up, really quick turn around

Here it is





So cheers Peter for turning this around so quick this means that Helen can drive it to Coombe now

The big power stroker engines need a bit more breather than most.

Nice setup Dave.

Side-note: The engine bay looks wicked with the coil-on-plug

Was down at Spec-r while he was making this, he cut mine up to find out what the problem was & could see why your old one did not work.
Pete will supply me with a new one . Petes also replacing my header tank with his latest version & polishing everything in sight.
I hear Helen was Queen of the outside lane on the way to Coombe .
