Hi,
I have a problem with my Forge piston type blow off valve. The seals won't stay in it. They will come out and for that the piston get's stuck. What I also see is fuel in the piston. Maybe that's the problem.
Anyone know's what's going on?
Kind regards,
Remko

Hi,
Fuel contamination causes the seals to expand causing the problem you have.
Ask Forge I think they do a fuel proof O ring. If not you may have to move the dump valve further away from the carb.
Cheers,
Gavin :)

i've said it many times. mount it upside down and it will work fine. that is to say, mount it with the vaccum pipe pointing to the ground.
