Breathers blocked.....NO
« on: 28 August 2006, 19:58:03 »
Stripped the engine breathers off to check if they were any where near blocked,

Found them absolutley clear  :o :o

slight wetness on the suface's, but no solid particles at all.

Could this be due to the fact that I have been running on LPG, only used about 120 ltrs of petrol this year, the rest has been gas

I thought it was the oil that did it, not fuel.  Change oil regularly helps keep breathers clear...
