Check Breather
1. Check for movement of the disc valve in
the breather assembly. If disc is stuck or
binding, replace the breather assembly.
2. Visually inspect the assembly for warping,
wear, or damage. If these conditions are
found, replace the breather assembly.
3. Inspect oil drain-back holes (C, Figure 3)
to make sure they are open. Clean as
needed.
4. Using 0.045” (1.14 mm) wire gauge, check
clearance between the disc valve (B) and
the housing (A). If gauge can be inserted,
replace the breather assembly.
NOTE: Do not apply force to the wire gauge! The
disc valve is retained by an internal bracket
which will be distorted if pressure is applied to
disc.
5. Inspect breather passage on top of
cylinder for debris and/or blockage.
Carefully clean this area if necessary,
ensuring passage holes are open.
