Re: Flame Trap orifice design 200 84

posted by  someone claiming to be Mike on  Wed Nov 1 10:09 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Mabey I was getting too descriptive.

The orifice I was referring to is actually in the replacement flame trap I bought from IPD. Normally the flame trap is a one piece unit but the one I got has a removable flame suppresser. ( the connical portion with all of the holes in it).

Without the suppresser installed, I can look down into the casing of the flame trap. The diameter is reduced from about 3/4 inch, the diameter of the connector to the oil trap, to about 1/4 inch. I thought that was wierd. Why would they restrict flow?

I'm going to try reaming it out just for the hell of it. The part is cheap anyway. I will be doing more high speed cruising and I want to keep pressure as low as possible in the crankcase to prevent future oil leaks.

Thanks for your help.
