Lets talk catch can

[Mo Lee]

Does anyone else collect a lot of water in their catch can. I'm using a converted Kolbalt water separator for a catch can and have it piped back into the air filter as to maintain a little suction on the crankcase to prevent pressure build up. I've noticed since the weather is cold that after about 6 or so 12 mile trips to work, it pretty much fills with water and a skim of oil. I do ride down to fairly cold temps and don't mind riding in the rain either.

I have the kobalt and it did the same thing in cold weather; others here have said the same thing. I don't have mine piped back to the airbox.. When I start riding again, I'm switching to krb's set up which I purchased from him.

Does the Kobalt...

have a glass or plastic bowl? On my tractors that have glass fuel bowls I get more condensation in the winter. The ones that have plastic don't get as much. /Ken
