Re: Chronic Flame Trap clogs -- Am i alone? 200 1987

You are NOT alone.

As usual I have an answer: synthetic oil, preferably a low Volatile synthetic oil such as Amsoil. I know I'm a walking talking commercial, but clogged flame traps simply don't happen with Amsoil because of the low volatility and the fact that it doesn't carbonize until EXTREMELY high temps.

So to answer your question you just need to take the flame trap and all associated tubing out, and replace. Also clean any/the orifice at the intake manifold. There is a possibility that the oil separator is clogged and needs rotor rooting.....
