As some of you know ive been in the process over the last month of removing the xe on bike carbs from the belmont and putting it in my new nova! Now i took the carbs off the engine as not to damage them in transit and have had loads of problems and took it for mot today still running like a bag of ****e only failed the mot on 1 bit of welding that i hoped to get done before the mot but was busy at work so couldnt do it! anyway i forgot to put the dipstick back in so drove it home from work spitting and farting after messing with it for an hour at dinner trying to find the fault and found the dipstick so then put it back in and my little bro was outside my house with his mates so went to do a little burnout messing around showing off lol and it took off like a aeroplane!!! :eek: :eek: Gave it some more beans down the road and it pulled like a train!!! Couldnt believe it! So after all i assume it was just breathing wrong due to no dipstick?!?!? Cant believe how ****e it made the engine run!!! I was about to strip the carbs down thinking it was them!! OH well lesson learned always remeber your dipstick!! :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: lol lol lol

it couldn't have caused those problems. Good times though, maybe you nudged something whilst replacing it !

Alls removing the dipstick will do is let the engine breathe out the dipstick hole instead of up the breathers.....

Cant really see anyone it can effect the engine running

We see it regularly on BMW's when people top the oil level up on their engines. If the oil cap is left loose it draws air into the engine which makes them run like sh*te and the engine light to eventually come on
