Thanks for the reply.I believe it is spring loaded. I temporarily solved the problem by removing the filter. Nice weather , I want to ride ! ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- My apologies for not being fluent on Indian oil system design. What type of pressure relief valve does it have? Is it a orifice or a spring loaded poppet valve? If it's an orifice, it will not modulate to compensate for changes in viscosity, therefore developing excessive pressure during cold starts. :John ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- I am running an "old iron" spin on remote on my Deluxe and it has never given me any problems however on my Indian 4 the same setup has been trouble from the getgo when starting from cold it often blows the gasket. There is so much pressure build up it has bent filters internally. I am working on a solution but am not keen to lower the engine pressure as it seems to be spot on running at 50 pounds ay highway speed. Has anyone else had this problem? |
