PCV stuff
Where can I find a replacement PCV tube or how do I clean it out? Mine dosen't move air either way.... No matter how hard I blow through it. Right now I'm running without it. I'm sure it's helping kill my mpg... Gettin everything fixed one step at a time.
Also the larger vent hole in the VC.... Right now I have a cheepo breather jimmy rigged to it and the air box hole plugged.... Anyone have a better solution?

Read through that. There's also a part number listed for that tube you're talking about

These don't have a PCV in the traditional sense. After doing some reading, I found the CCV (Crank Case Vent) system components and replaced both vacuum harnesses and the CCV tube which I found on ebay for a reasonable price.

Check out the link I posted. There's part numbers listed and you can pick em up at the dealer. I don't think there's anywhere else really that you can get that tube

I was able to clean mine by hanging it up and filling it up with spray carb cleaner and letting it sit, followed by compressed air. Try it first.

Will do... I was thinking something along those lines, but didn't know if carb cleaner would weaken or melt the plastic.

So yeah, didn't know you had a Renix. You can ignore that link I posted

It didn't hurt my line at all. I let it sit for 2 min. and all kinds of carbon and oil came out with the air. I used audozone brand with the V-8 w/ the chrome air cleaner on the can. The valuecraft brand carb cleaner is kerosene or something cause it takes DAYS to dry. The good stuff is like .50 more a can. If it doesn't burn your nose, It's no good. BTW brake cleaner WILL melt some plastics.
