flame arrestor carnage

[toomessedup]

so i went riding today and after the first couple tanks came in to refill and noticed that my flame arrestor had blown apart, i never saw this happening. the top piece looks like the glue gave way and seperated.

:shocked:

typical of Tau Cetti flame arrestors! I gave up on em. They will warranty that if u ship it to em and then they ship u a new one back. IMO u need to have a back up set of TauCetti's on the shelf because you are constantly gonna have a set going back and forth in shipping.

yeah, i was just searching the forum and it seems lots of people have this problem. its still a shock to pop the hood and see a 50 dollar flame arrestor in pieces

I got 3-4 years out of a set, but it was the kind that had the carbon top. The newer ones with the Alum tops suck. I had a set, for about a month or so, the aluminum started to crack right off the bat. Started using the low profile K&N Pro Series.

Same problem for me this weekend, I had one go last year too but it was a clean separation so I was able to SuperGlue the top back on. I am not sure which one broke this go around, the one I repaired or the one that has never failed. Either way, the one that separated is not repairable, its all jacked up an are only two years old.

I have a set of the old Tau Cetti's with the Carbon top cap that I have on there now. I need to contact them and get it replaced so I will have a backup when the carbon ones go........

Have you ever seen how much those things vibrate? Just off idle mine turn into a blur; they must be moving 3/4" - 1". I am not suprised they fail so quickly.

So......... I cant get their number. The site is under construction?

Does anyone have their contact info?


Thanks

contact blowsion, that where those came from.

 

[Shifty]

Yeah, but mine are "Hot Products" branded, I got them through Art at JetWorks.

Same thing happened to me with a set of Prok's I picked up used in daytona. First ride out and the cone sucked into one of the carbs. The other f/a was almost as bad, and would have failed soon behind.

 

[toomessedup]

yeah, i talked to blowsion this morning and they are sending me a new one

How long have you had that item? HotProducts said they dont give out TauCeti's number and they are only covererd for one year... I messed up and said its been two years but it has actually been just over one year. HotProducts said there is no way it will be covered.

 

[toomessedup]

i bought it last year, but it has only been ran for 3 months

Someone should start making the Ocean Pro Vortex ones again... The Proks and Tau Cetis are junk. I'll probably just run my stocker from now on.
