pulled my my filter off today because i figured i would change it and it was damp with oil....?
oil had also collected at the bottom of the filter housing and is obviously coming from the tube running to the oil filler cap. this is the pcv valve? what's the purpose of this tube? pressure? anyway, if anyone knows why this is happening...please enlighten me. i'm looking to switch to an idf 44 and i want to keep that carb running right. thanks in advance here's a pic of the setup: (IMG:http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d189/pba110/914/IMG_1553.jpg) |

thanks for the replies. I checked to see if there is any valve on the hose and it seems lke there isnt. However sounds like oil in the filter is necessary. Anyway car has been running fine. i do think a new carb would bbetter for the cold weather. I have two huge throttle return springs on the progressive now and it still idles fast sometimes. This is a known problem with these carbs right? Think switching to the weber idf is worth it?
