PSA: Check your fCV Springs!

[Quinc]

Installing my new wax manifold and headpipe, figured I would check my fcv for any debris/sand etc and to my surprise found that the spring inside the fcv had rusted apart and broke in half. So check your springs before spring.

Good tip. Any idea if you can get replacement ball & spring?

I have had good luck with a cone spring off mcmaster I think I had to cut it to fit though.. Problem is I ordered a bunch of different springs and balls and dont remember which ones I used. =/

I think Wax uses a Restrictor Jet for the Stinger instead of a Flux Capacitor Valve.

No moving or corroding parts....

I use both.. But thinking a restrictor is probably enough. (Drill out a seat to 2mm and it fits perfect in the bpipe stinger. )
