Hi. My one way rubber drain tube/valve that is shaped like a ducks beak arrived today.
I was going to put it on the end of the crankcase breather hose which now vents to the atmosphere, and remove my one way check valve(as they are prone to failing sometimes)...but the slit in the end of it is quite big. there's quite a large gap.
I fail to see how water and dirt won't make it's way in with a gap that big?? especially if the bike stalls in water and it sucks water up through it...
As you can see from the photo, you can easily see right through it.
Either way, to me it seems like it can still suck water up through that gap...
Maybe someone else who knows more about these things can explain em to me? or let me know how water and dirt won't find it's way into it?
