mine keeps popping of every time i boot it then when i get
to a junction it cuts out,any ideas what would be causing this

Rob84

sounds like blocked breather pipes buddy cdisconnect and clean them out and it should cure it. i'm sure if i'm wrong some1 will say so

Paddy

could be breather system or worst case crankcase pessures building cos of tired bottom end

jonesymk2

iTrader: (2)

hopefully its the breather system then

Paddy

yeh its only just done it today,havnt used the car for a couple of
days and it was fine the last time i used it,i topped the oil up
a little the other day and put a tiny bit to much in so would this cause
the same thing to happen

Paddy

possibly, u running a standard crank case emissions valve or one of the aftermarket breather systems?

jonesymk2

iTrader: (2)

i think its all standard breathers

Paddy

check and clean out the emissions valve that comes off the back of the rocker + the little breather that comes off the bottom of that and go's back to the inlet

Might be worth buying a new one, they are only a few quid.

had thoght about a bit of tape round the filler neck to make it a tighter fit

Tony Turbo

Depends what you go for. My one was about £4. I use a piece of old Mocal hose that just vents to atmosphere.

Shhhhh, you're not meant to say that!!

Note - You can't use a Breather that vents to atmosphere on anything other than a very new engine.

big_wig_074

no my tape goes over the top of the cap to stop it coming off! but then my car cost me 100 quid and im building another engine!

does it vent to atmosphere instead of where,mine wont tickover if
the caps off so how would i sort that

EIL132

Block the pipe where the breather connects to the airbox

jonesymk2

iTrader: (2)

havnt got an air box on the car got a k+n cone filter

vroooom ptssssh

EIL meant the metering unit (im sure?) black hose goes to that.

jonesymk2

iTrader: (2)

what do i do then just block it off,do i need to block anything else or
connect anything else

so if i just block the pipe off on the metering head and also block the
pipe on the inlet manifold and just then vent the pipe from the rocker
cover to atmosphere,then just turn the revs up a little and is that it
