Re: Breather and PCV valve setup

Hope this helps.

I ran mine in that configuration in the beginning and it created too much vacuum/smoke/sucked the oil out of the rocker covers. Now changed to PCV plumbed into the carb full vac port.And the other Rocker Cover breather open to Air. Works for me :thumb:
