[DMCForum] Re: Carbureted PRV (Martin G)



Ever seen Renault's carbureted PRV? *TWO* carburetors. Two *FRENCH*
carburetors. Tell me that isn't trouble waiting to happen...

Why in the world would you leave functionless O2 sensor protruding
into exhaust stream? Simply capping the bung with a bolt isn't
permanent modification. I used metric oil pan bolt (big flange) and
copper washer to ensure tight seal. Cut length down to 1/4" or so to
keep it flush with interior wall of Y pipe.
