vector problem???

[bombsquad]

Just got the vector motor running. When i shut it off there is a gurgling sound coming from the air box for a few second after shutdown is this normal?

Same exact problem I was going to post this morning. Just finished the install on the new genisis 120 on my 06 venture and noticed the same gurgling noise for a few second after shutdown. I disconected the larger curved line from the airbox and started it and after a few seconds some oil is pumped through the line. Not a large quantity but enough. I retraced all the vent lines and none were kinked. I did notice that when the oil cap was removed from the tank that it did not build enough pressure to pump oil.
Does anyone know if pressure is suppose to build in the oil tank???

Glad to see this is not an isolated problem and could be normal. Hopefully someone can shed some light on this for us.

That is a normal sound. It is the oil returning to the oil tank. It is a dry sump motor, the oil is sucked out of the bottom and returned to the oil tank.

Yup - pressurized system doing its thing.

Thanks for the quick responses everyone.

Does it ever build enough pressure to fill the sealed breather in the airbox and spill through the vent into the airbox ?????

Mine never has in 12,000 miles and some harsh conditions. Just don't start the engine with the small hose that goes to the side of the engine disconnected. You only do that once by mistake... the mess will make you never forget again.
