I had to abandon the DGV then because the air filter was hitting the hood. I have replaced t; /html/spitfires/2001-03/msg00769.html (11,128 bytes)

Re: Weber DGV vacuum (score: 1): Author: Vic Whitmore <vicwhit@home.com>; Date: Fri, 30 Mar 2001 12:05:18 -0500; The aluminum valve cover has a similar outlet to the standard cover so I don't see how it would change things. In fact it may be worse. The aluminum cover does not have any baffle on the inside like; /html/spitfires/2001-03/msg00770.html (11,689 bytes)

You say that when you connected the venting hose to the plastic angle connector that snaps to the underside of the air cleaner plate on the DGV, you get; /html/spitfires/2001-03/msg00771.html (13,730 bytes)

I connect the hose from the valve cover to the plastic angle connector on the under side of the air filter. I used the same hose as the ZS and it has no blockage.

Does it fit really tight except for when the engine is running? I guess my point is this: If you're n; /html/spitfires/2001-03/msg00774.html (17,523 bytes)
9. Re: Weber DGV vacuum (score: 1): Author: Vic Whitmore <vicwhit@home.com>; Date: Fri, 30 Mar 2001 13:44:01 -0500; Nope. The dip stick is fine. It works without leaks with the ZS carb because the positive crankcase pressure is relieved by the vacuum port on the ZS carb. Not so with the Weber.

Re: Weber DGV vacuum (score: 1): Author: Joe Curry <spitlist@gte.net>; Date: Fri, 30 Mar 2001 12:16:37 -0700; Jeff and all, The real problem in most cases is the 1500 was generally a closed breathing system and the air pump was an integral part of that system.

The fact of the matter is that the tube on the valve cover is not sufficient to relieve the built up pressure.
