Sounds like it is vented. Are there slots in the sides of the filler
neck (down inside the tank)

The cap is a screw on. There's a small pin hole underneath, but don't
see where any vapors would escape.

Wasn't there something about some filer necks having slots inside the tank to prevent this? -----Original Message----- From: Cam Conklin [mailto:Mailca-@aol.com] Sent: Sunday, May 05, 2002 6:14 PM To: Loopfram-@topica.com Subject: Vapor lock My Eldo vapor locks when gas is at a certain level. Today, riding with Keith Ruff, I stalled a couple times in fourth and fifth gear. The quick fix is to crack the gas cap as it's ready to choke out, and a couple seconds later it's cruising great. Is there a cap with a small hole available, or can I drill a small one myself? Anyone else have this happen? It's usually after I get gas. Cam in NJ '74 Eldo Police |
