Air filter blow by hose?? By fairweasel2323 (Read 1,838 times)

How important is it to have the air filter blow by hose I just noticed i lost mine and im working on finding a piece of hose to replace it if its "needed" and wandering if it needs to be closed off to collect oil? I was thinking it was really just to keep oil from being thrown all over and with the hose and closed end it collects so theres no mess? basically how important is? it thanks alot!

Read a dozen times and no replies was just going to find a piece of hose to replace the stock one and make it longer so it would drain closer to ground if there is no reason to have the hose closed? Im thinking its closed to collect oil just so u dont have a mess? I just wanted to make sure ok to be open I am not to worried about a little oil draining making mess never had any oil collect in mine before I lost it plus I would run the hose long enough it would just get on the CVT cover or rear wheel.

its just coming from the air filter box?

and goes no where

yea just plug it off.

at first, i thought you were talking about the hose
that comes from the valve cover thats just vents
to the air filter

now thats a different story

[fairweasel2323]

yeah it comes off the top of air filter box. Was told it was a drain to keep oil from going into the air filter ( guess if u have too much oil in motor?) I never had any oil in my hose when i had it (before it fell off) now im pretty sure common sense tells me they had it closed so the hose would collect oil and not throw it all over scooter, I was just going to run a longer hose so any oil it collects would drain closer to the ground unless theres some other reason it was blocked off? all I know is from the Big Guy Rich's 500 mile cvt inspection it showed the Air Filter Blow-by hose

heres his post about the 500mile inspection scooterdoc.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=transmission&action=display&thread=1378

Thanks for ur reply hopefully looking at the whole 500mile inspection he posted will help clear things up he had said there wasnt very much oil in his air filter blow by hose so he would skip draining it

Oh and a 1/2inch diameter clear hose got a foot using 6-8 inches of it??? With a long shank bolt with the threads cut off like Jr. suggested and two hose clamps, 3$ fixed!! Better then going to my Scooter dealer and use all the gas to drive over a hr away, plus I think how I did this is actually better then the stock drain hose!! Thanks all!

Hey weasel guy, look at it this way if you pulled your air filter off to go to free flow you wouldnt have it any mre any how and if its plug in the end whats its real use for ive pulled the off mc,s and my scooter made no differance what so ever not even a little bit

its cool fixed now any way, but yeah mine ran for awhile without it no difference. but it had to be there for reason? So i rigged it up to work

[travler1]

ya but some times thoes reasons are dumber than mud, just another thing not needed all the cycles and scooters in the past never had them and their still running just fine may be better than the newer ones
