gas in oil causing overflow

[Eric McKinley]

Ron,

Would that be a solution for priming the carbs for owners of cars that possibly are parked for extended periods of time, say 8 weeks, without any movement?

[Ron LaDow]

Interested, is it possible to install that without taking the engine out?

No need to remove the engine. Take off the air filters and the fuel line, loose-assemble the stuff on the bench, ny-tie the blade in place, refit the removed stuff and tighten it up.
Less than an hour, if you are comfortable swinging wrenches.

Can't say for 8 weeks. My car hasn't sat that long, and I haven't reports back for that period of time yet.
I can tell you mine (the prototype 30cc unit) did fine for a month in San Fran; the 40cc production unit should do better than that.
The evaporation path requires the vapors to find their way from the cannister, though the fuel lines and the float valves, all the way to one of the float bowls before it can get to atmosphere, so it's pretty stingy letting it loose.

Thanks, will probably be ordering that (my B still has the original flexible fuel line it appears)

and your oil sump cover. I am also thinking about replacing the pushrod tubes, engine seems to be a bit leaky and a bet those seals gave up the ghost awhile ago. sorry to derail this thread a bit.
