Rocker covers Vents ??

Where should I vent the 2 vents on top of my rocker covers to?
Just feed them over the side, or into a filter or back into the carb??

below the carb into the inlet mnifold, you will need a flame trap in line.
Best regards

You need to clarify what set up you have. eg. Carb type , injection, and from which model the rocker cover are from.

I run my breathers into the base plate of my filter and it works just fine.

I agree that this is the simplest way to achieve passive crankshaft ventilation. For positive ventilation, you would need to fit a PCV valve and connect one of the rocker covers to the inlet manifold and the second rocker cover should then have a small filter fitted.

It seems to me that the rocker covers in question are the P5 or P6 type as the SD1 covers I have don't have two breather connections.
