My Super Dextra

Post by oldcharlie »

I just rebuilt the engine on her and someone had at some time jury rigged an air hose on it from a auto hose and where they bent it to make it fit it was about three quarters of the way closed off. i thought this was not letting it get full power at higher throttle settings. So I ordered a new one and I was right about it cutting off air flow. I had over filled the oil pan on the air breather and when I started it up and increased the throttle it started sucking the oil out of the air filter and ran away with me!
Needless to say it scared the crap out of me, but since it only had a small amount of oil it could burn it was short lived and did no damage.
