A65 camshaft breather issues

Knowing some A65's it'll turn it into a two stroke

I think providing its on the filter side and not the manifold it shouldn't make a lot of difference if any.

2 Stroke==thats an interesting concept

many of the modern Chinese 125's I get to see have a breather running back into the air box as a way of getting the emissions down, even some of the small scooters have small pipes coming out of the exhaust pipe to recirculate any unused fuel back into the airbox and carb to burn again. its a trick most manufacturers are using to pass modern emissions.

It was being used by Opel in the 1960's, probably others too. Certainly I seem to remember it being used on some the Fords in the 70's. However I can't specify what models..

I had an early model XS750 and that fed back into the airbox.

Thanks for all the info Fella's, think I'll have a go at what the "Editor" and others suggested and run a pipe underneath the mudguard following the arch. Cheers.

Im sure Ive seen a BSA with a piece of hose pipe in P clips running over the rear mudguard

Hi again.

After some extra thought I think it would not be a good idea to run a pipe to the air intake. Can you imagine the problem it might cause when you started it after a couple of months wet sumping. A big glob of oil straight into the cylinders-----I think it would simply love that.

So it will be the oil tank, above the level of the return pipe
