Reply to "Breather box"

I was going through some old boxes and ran across some tins that some wine bottles came in. I knew I saved them for something, so I made a breather box, or should I say tube, out of one of them.

I figured, before I went ahead and spent the money on fabricating one out of aluminum, I'd try this first. I'm only venting the oil filler and fuel pump block off plate.

The can that I used is 3.5" by 12". I also wired three pot scrubbers together a couple of inches apart from each other, and slid them in it before I sealed the lid. Since this is an experiment, I just zip tied it with some padding to the frame tube. I might also vent the valve covers, but we'll see.

I'm not a fan of the worm type clamps, but they'll do for now. I need to source some spring clamps. I'm also not a fan on how the fitting was fitted to the carb lid. Kinda janky, but that's how it came. I'll fix that later also. Hopefully this cures the oily left carb problem. Now I need to clean the engine compartment.
