Are any of you guys familiar with saito's vent/overflow line? This is the line that comes out of the back of the crankcase that just expels excess oil and fuel. Where the heck is a good place to run this line so that it wont just leak out all over the plane? I dont want to leave a big long piece of fuel tubing hanging out the bottom of my plane,but I also dont want to to blow all over the underside of the plane. Just not sure what I want to do with it yet,and was hoping you guys had some good ideas what to do with it.

I've seen people actually run this line all the way down their landing gear to keep the gunk off of the plane. I usually just route this line so it goes out of the cowl though.

On my 80GK I have a piece of tubing. I put a couple of screw eyes in the firewall and route the tubing through the eyes an have it extend about 1" beyond the bottom of the fuselage.

When you have a 4 stroke it goes with the territory

Hi Jester,

Try routing the line so the oil drips into the throat of the carby, (one of those cable clips for computer cable works fine), it saves a lot of mess. I read about this in a magazine and have been doing this with my four strokes for quite a few years with no ill effects.

Cheers,

Colin

Drill and tap the carb intake pipe and install a 6-32 nipple. Use gasket and a thread locker. Then run fuel line from crankcase to the nipple. Works wonderful!

ohhh btw, I ground off some of the threads so it does not extend into the intake pipe to far.
