Cyclone breather - cleaner?

StickyWombat · Jul 9, 2012

Hi there just a quick one this time:

gonna remove my cyclone breather and give it a clean but what do I clean the inside of it with?

Thankyou lovely Landy folk

I used parafin. Just left it soaking for a while then rinsed it out with more and left it to dry overnight.

Thankyou for that

Ended up having to replace the cyclone breather with a new one as the seal on the old one was shot, but I'll keep your 'parafin info' for future reference

when you say the seal do you mean the o ring?

Yes the o ring (sorry you can tell I'm a newbie

)

You could have just replaced the O ring. Would have been a bit cheaper than buying a new breather.

Yeah you're right but the whole unit looked 'tired' (trying to think of a nice way to put it! lol) Anyway got the new unit for £10 and fitted it myself

a small and simple job for you of the more experienced types but a huge leap of confidence for me

Yep I'm sure that as I do more work on Bertie in the years to come I'll be thinking back to that sweet little cyclone breather job and think "if only it were that simple now!"
