I'd like to know whether anyone has come up with an alternative. I was
thinking about using a PCV valve. Maybe fabricate something that looks like
the original part for the closed breather TR4 engine. >>
Hi Paul
Perhaps you should give some thought to a return to the original SU / open
breather system? Correct for your CT133 TR4. You'd need TR3A -B carbs, a
different valve cover and oil cap, and the breather tube on the side of the
engine.
I have both setups and prefer SU over ZS, although not tremendously!
The 3A setup should be easy to find, whereas the flame traps are seemingly
fairly rare.
Just my $.02
