Flame Trap; 1996 960

Post by Wes850GLT »

Hey guys I have an 850 and I know the flame trap on it needs cleaning/replacing every so often. My father-in-law has a 96' 960, he has a little oil coming from his oil cap. I'm going to repace the oil cap gasket for him and I'm thinking of ordering the flame trap kit from FCPGROTON. Does the 960's flame trap have the same sort of problems the 850's have or would I just be wasting my time replacing it?

Thanks,

wes

60,000 AND 100,000 MILES:
PCV - FLAME GUARD: INSPECT, CLEAN NIPPLE AND HOSES -

Maintains proper emission control.

Clogged flame guard may cause oil seepage.
This is a quote from the 960 Maintenance Chart.
