Default Siphons, anti-siphons & wet exhausts

nav? did you slip over into the land of crackerboxes to be close to oxxy?

Don't forget gas leaking past the piston to the sump -especially on
older engines!

Cheers

First an exhaust is a sealed system

If it's sealed, then how does exhaust get into and/or out of it?

the term sealed was used in the context of water ingress. keep up with the
class, dougies, or be left behind.



But it's not sealed Jocks.
It's open from the carb inlet to the exhaust outlet sometimes.
So guess what, it's protected against syphonage.
Do you know how high you can lift water with a syphon before allowing
it to fall again?
