Title: reliants breathing Post by: twisted on July 18, 2014, 02:17:06 PM anyone with a reliant trike, question. do you have much smoke/steam that comes out of the breather cap? is it pretty constant? do you have the standard cap, modded or a pipe down the frame to the deck to loose it?
only asking because i can see smoke/steam coming from mine. i have set up another bottle on the side of my frame with a tube from the modded breather (right angled with no filter/gauze in it) going into the top and a small hole to let out pressure. i done this so i could check to see what/how much stuff came out after my head gasket change. as i ride i can see smoke coming out the hole i drilled and wanted to check this is normal before i run a pipe down the frame and forget about it :) Title: Re: reliants breathing Post by: Olds on July 18, 2014, 03:39:17 PM Is it smoke or steam ?
Before replacing my head gasket, I could set fire to the vapour coming out of mine, like a Bunsen burner :o. Now there is very little coming out of the standard breather (nothing visible) and is connected to the carb.
