<div dir="ltr"><div>Are the brass caps vented? In my earlier post about the various caps I had on some sets of HD8s, one of the caps was AUC 8114. A responder pointed out that that cap came on a tri-carb set up. Looking more closely I noticed there was no vent hole in that cap. Why? Because the carbs on the tri-carb set up had vents in the dashpots. HD8 dashpots are not vented so the cap should be to be vented.</div><div>I'm just guessing, but would happen if a non vented cap is put on an HD8 carb? Would the oil get sucked out of the carb? </div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Jul 19, 2020 at 10:54 AM Roger Grace via Healeys <<a href="mailto:healeys@autox.team.net">healeys@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><div>A few years ago as my BJ8 carbs had been so molested over the years by numerous PO's bought a pair of new HD8 from Burlein.<br></div><div>They came with brass capped dampers.<br></div><div>For the life of me, cannot see any part numbers on the dampers<br></div><div>I am curious/suspicious as seem to have to top up more frequently than I remember with previous SU cars.<br></div><div>At least after every 2 tanks of gas driving time.<br></div><div>Not accurately checked standing time with no driving.<br></div><div>Where does the oil go ?
