Remembering that Carver works at a nuclear power plant I would have thought he would be able to read a simple electrical schematic ...



To be fair his mind was on other issues. We had you covered.

I know what RH thinks, and there has been a lot of speculation, but I don't think the Crankcase Breather hose is what causes the dirty TB plates.

And yes, remove the airbox.

Good luck mi amigo. Wish I could have been there.

What do you think did cause the dirty TB plates? That whole under-seat area looks pretty dirty/dusty to me. Does the owner live on a dirt road ? ? ?

The Hondarosa is located at the end of a three mile dirt road. The owner looks like 10 miles of bad road.

Well i got home from Creston about an hour ago after a very secessful weekend and another fine run across highway 58 in the rain (i love AWD)....

Ray is one awesome dude. He's currently in Dorris, CA, been driving all day, has about 2.5 hours to go. Don't know how he's doing it.. I'm ready for bed and it's not even 9 pm!

Dirt roads are not the root cause. Too many of us have those nasty looking TB plates that don't ride dirt roads.

I don't know what the root cause is. Oiled air filters like K&N I think are a possibility. Maybe it's 'normal'. Who knows.

Ahhhh, thanks SkooterG, that makes sense to me. These awesome engines Suck Big-time (I mean that in the very best way), and I can see them pulling oil from a slightly overdone K&N, or similar filter. Dry Filters for me for sure.

Good luck on the new motor.

Hope it takes care of you.

Many more miles.
