Re: Flame Trap orifice design 200 84

posted by  someone claiming to be AndrewG on  Wed Nov 1 23:27 CST 2000 [RELATED]

I still don't get it. All flame traps that I know about are removable from their housings. The flame trap itself (white plastic full of holes or spiral wound brass) is wider than the hoses in or out, this is because it needs to compensate for the restriction it causes. If you are saying there is a further restriction in the housing to below the diameter of the hoses then I do not think that it will make much difference either way.

You need to check you are getting vacuum from the manifold and that the oil trap is not clogged, this should be enough to stop pressure building in the crankcase.
