Hi Guys
I'm sure this question has been posted somewhere on RCU before but there are so many threats it's getting difficult to find the answer. A couple of guys at my local club have installed a smoke system utilising pressure from the crankcase. They have a D.A 50 and a D.L 50 (rear mount carby) and they basically tapped a nipple into the reed block to provide the pressure. A tube then runs from the nipple on the reed block, through a one way pressure regulating valve and into a dedicated smoke tank. They have fitted a servo operated switch between the tank and exhaust to turn the smoke on and off remotely. The system is very effective and provides a good thick smoke for around 40 seconds. They are using a 50 / 50 mix of diesel and brake fluid. My question is, on a side mount carby, such as a BCME 40, where do I tap a nipple to get the same result?. Do I tap it into the actual crankcase, and where abouts should it be tapped.
The system they used seems cheap, reliable and VERY effective - and adds very little weight. No additional batteries or pumps. If anybody has done this can you please let me know and maybe post a pic.
Thanks
