Title: you wouldn't read about it
Post by: TM BILL on March 22, 2010, 07:24:22 pm

Iv'e been doing this dirt bike thing for over 3 decades and in the weekend i had a new experience  ??? :o I had a DNF (that in itself ain't unusual) but the cause was  ;)

I had a plastic breather hose on my MX 125 fuel tank , the hose ran over the crossbar pad and under the tank .

The problem arose when the plastic breather pipe found its way onto the GMC expansion chamber ::) the heat caused the plastic pipe to melt together causing a vaccum and stopping fuel flow.

In hindsight a shorter hose would have fixed the problem but on the upside at least it didn't act as a fuse  :D
