A smoggin' I will go...

[ParadiseXJ]

That's great...all the info on this...I called the dealership with great reserve, but, here tomorrow ~50+ for both sets...grumble grumble, smile, smile.

The silver lining here is that I KNEW beforehand that I needed at least one of the vents and I was waiting to do it before I put my brand new (JY) steel tank skid under there. I just didn't even think about that particular piece flunking my smog test. So now I have another %^!@#$ project...yay!!

Thanks guys!!

It's an 0.050 metered orifice BUT in the Hayne's manual (I know, I know) the .050 orifice is in the small hose. I found mine in the larger hose. I'm befuddled as to it's REAL location. I don't even know if it makes a difference which side it's on. I think it's purpose is to only allow just enough vacuum to clear the tank of fumes or just enough the charcoal cannister can take, even in a "low vacuum" situation as it's not hooked up to the vacuum reservoir and relies only on intake vacuum.

Anyway I replaced the vent/rollover valves, hooked it all up, ready to try smogging again. I only had to drop the tank about 1/2 way to reach the valves.

My original numbers were great, the only snag was the tank pressure:
At idle - CO2=14.4 02=0.3 HC = 32 CO = 0.16
At 2500 RPM - CO2 = 14.5 02 = 0.1 HC = 29 CO = 0.17

According to the emissions label the orifice should have the line the runs to the fuel tank, not the line to the intake.

And good luck on the test--don't stay up all night cramming for it, old fart!

This old fart passed smog today. Everything was tight. Now I can sleep (except for the numerous spontaneous naps I take throughout the day which my employer doesn't even know about).

This old fart passed gas today, but I blamed it on the dog.
