billet gas cap

[SoonerYFZ]

I ordered the billet gas cap from Apex and I have a question about the ventilation method it uses. There is just a small cap (about the size of a cap for the air stem on a tire) that screws into a threaded hole in the middle of the cap. There is a small ball bearing about the size of a BB that sits in there, I presume to stop up the breather hole if the quad is upside down. The question concerns this little ball, it sits right on top of the small hole that allows the tank to breath... does the regular motion of the quad cause this bearing to shake around exposing the hole and allow the tank to balance the pressure or do people tend to have problems with this type of cap?

The only reason I ask is that we could not keep the quad running if my son let off the throttle. As long as he had some throttle then it would stay running. Not sure if its the gas cap or not but that and a new air filter was the only thing to change since the last time out.

We had to mod. the caps when we sell them. We took a brake line end and flaired a an alumn. tube to fit. Added a hose to vent to handle bars. If that makes any sense.

any way you could post a pic of that? Did you have to mod it for the reason I described or another issue?

Customers complained when tank was full and rev the eng. would spray fuel out.

I never really could figure out why these billet caps' venting systems were designed so much different than any other billet cap in the world. It definately is a PIA having fuel spew everywhere. :rolleyes:
