Beware all 13 redhead owners. Blown hose & more

[Wolf]

Flipping the grommet on the PC...it looks like the rubber diameter opening is smaller. Will it still fit?

 

[Johnrg]

The outside edge as it comes is beveled and the opposite side straight. Lube and seat it well.

Make sure you press it into the cap first and don't forget the spring. 1.3mm of clearance equals a 4mm round hole.

Just received a PC116 & flipped the grommet - getting a measurement of 36mm.

Have a new, stock Husky filter - 34.3mm. Tried switching the grommet from the Husky filter to the PC - it's too small, not secure at all.

I'm thinking I received an older PC116 - after flipping the grommet, there's a small air gap between the filter housing and the rubber flange. Probably 1mm worth of extra rubber, and it doesn't seem to give much / can't get it flush with the filter housing.

Thoughts?

Time to order a Tusk or Scott's & drop kick the PC116?

States 1.8 above so u get 1.7 so probably normal for make maybe?!

Just got my Tusk filter yesterday, very close to same size as stock. Looks well made, compared to my outlaw one I'd say the tusk is better

Also noticed the bypass check is a touch stronger on the tusk then outlaw, but closer to the standard husky filter.
The husky filter has quite a firm bypass check when comparing to HiFlo.

Highly recommend the tusk filter. Also I got a motion pro 1" hole oil filter magnet ring. Looks like I can put it on the sealing side of oil filter, outside of engine.

Also fitted a magnet to my drain plug.

I just got through changing the oil on another 310 without my drain back kit. I don't know who ever designed that rubber hose to the bottom of the engine, but that's crazy. Also there's some serious drag on the starter gears trying to pump cold 50wt oil through a paper filter, seems like another plus to thin oil and stainless filters.

This is the measurement of the PC Racing 116 out of the box before grommet flip.



After - About 1mm diff....

The PC filter I have measures about .5 mm more after the grommet flip.

that really sucks. anyway for what its worth, get rid of the oem hoses add cv4 silly-cone hoses, add zipty tank spacers and still be carefull where the pump spigot contacts the tank even with my spacers the thing still chafed with a full tank, i added a hose doubler there and in other chafe spots like over the exhaust. PS 2 stroke here I come!

I was on the cv4 website and they don't seem to list hose kits for any Husqvarna models newer than 2010. I have seen this on a lot of aftermarket parts manufacturers websites. Not sure why?

 

[troy deck]

i have the same problem no rear fenders newer than 08 wth

 

[Kenneth Webb]

I just bought CV4 from CV but don't know yet if they fit. They say so .

 

[Tinken]

You can order Samco silicon hoses through us

 

[Tim Randall]

Do these hose kits eliminate the thermostat?

 

[robertaccio]

we all ready went throught this.......deja vu all over again!!

That stupid bottom of engine drain back hose---even though I know about the skid plate mount screw tight clearance and checked it after installation. One of the screws chafed through my hose on a trail ride in mexico luckily the screw that wore through also kept the hole semi plugged. I only lost a minor amount of oil. That hose at below the crankcase oil level is an accident waiting to happen, with only a hose clamp on a hose barbed plug. Dumb!

 

[oregonsage]

I added hose & to the title, as in Blown hose & motor....it kept making me twitch every time I scanned it before :-)

 

[reveille]

Good idea and his engine didn't end up blowing up after all. Thank goodness for that.

Add my 310 drain back kit. It eliminates that hose under the engine.

Tinken,
I added it last night, piece of cake, easy peasy, simple tech,in addition I have my crank vent open to atmosphere, not pumping hot crank air and oil vapor and fouling crap into the intake tract with a K&N crank vent filter behind the skidplate in front at the base of the cylinder (same vent setup on my 2011 TE310).
All good another ZipTy Racing bullet proof item for the X-Lite machine. Hey this was a thread hijack......RN

The pre-filter screen on the 310 is a pain to remove, but my new oil drain plug pulls it out for you. Best to pick up a transmission oil bottle pump for the refilling of oil so you don't have to remove the fill plug. Enjoy

I'm waiting on my recirc kit before doing my first oil change, so some of the previous isn't real clear yet. Where do you fill if not at the fill plug?

 

[Tinken]

You still fill at the plug, but instead of taking the plug out, its easier and faster to just pull the hose off and attach a gear lube pump hose to it. If you buy your oil in the 5 Qt bottle like I do for Mobil1, it makes it extremely convenient.
