mark68502 Posted July 7, 2015 #1 Posted July 7, 2015 I decided to pull the carbs today and give the a cleaning but while following a (really nice) set of instructions from The Venturers I noticed that my crank case ventilation hose is...GONE! This feels like a dumb question but is this important? Seems like a pretty BIG opening to be just left uncapped. Where is the hose that was supposed to be there? Where is the other end of that missing hose supposed to go? Ok, Im done panicking and have just read the related threads on crankcase ventilation. Seems that some people remove it and like the results. Then again, if my hose is simply GONE, don't I have a relatively large "leak" in my airbox that could be throwing off my (admittedly already poor due to uncleaned carbs...) performance?
van avery Posted July 7, 2015 #2 Posted July 7, 2015 The hose goes down with 2- 90's in it to a port on top of the crank case. If its missing I would think there would be oil all over the valley and I would worry about crud getting in the crank case. Some people have just installed a small air filter on the crank case port and plugged the port on the bottom of the Air box.

Yes, I think that is what I have decided to do as well. Seems simple and clean. And, of course, cap off the port on the underside of the airbox.
