No need; It is not going any further than finding about it. If I need to get some specifics, I will start another thread.

The thread is running a bit like a conversation in front of "the Garage" over a quiet beer. Given that the topic has roved from Quotas over V11 und back to Quota, I reckon it is a bit more general even than the "Older Models" section. 1
Pressureangle Posted June 8, 2023 Posted June 8, 2023 Just saw this as a 'whatizzit' on FB groups. I directed him here, of course. 3

So this is how the top plug looks like stock? I can see it is opened to the atmosphere, the mesh should suffice to prevent oil from coming out. Unless of course a passage in mud plugs it. But this plug would defeat the purpose to run a long unaesthetic tube from the plug to the rear of the engine. 1

No, this is actually an exhaust vent for air control systems- they call it a muffler, as it quiets the exhaust and prevents pests from going into the system. 2
p6x Posted June 15, 2023 Author Posted June 15, 2023 I spoke to the previous owner of the Quota 1100ES whom installed a long breather hose from that plug. He did it because he had heard from other users that water could enter the rear drive from there. So, Q.E.D. then!!! (quod erat demonstrandum) for those who never had to study Greek at school... 1 1
PJPR01 Posted June 15, 2023 Posted June 15, 2023 yeah yeah...ipso facto and cogito ergo sum... 4 years of Latin in school...got to love Caesar and The Gallic wars and a bit of Cicero. Fond memories of Declensions and Conjugations, Tenses, Moods etc... Just to piss off our old Irish, ex priest Latin teacher, we'd all sing from time to time: Latin is a language As dead as dead can be First it killed Caesar and Now it's killing me! QED 2
Speedfrog Posted June 16, 2023 Posted June 16, 2023 I had to take Greek and Latin classes in school as well as they were mandatory back then. What wasn’t mandatory I recall, was to remember any of it beyond these classes… I also recall that speaking in dead tongues wasn’t very effective in impressing the pretty girls… 1 1
