CHECKING BREATHERS
To remove breather assemblies, re­
move carburetor air cleaner and
intake manifold. Remove the dipst­
ick tube. Then remove air guide.
Finally, remove breathers.
If a 0,045" wire gauge can be in­
serted between the breather fiber
disc valve and body, fiber disc
valve is defective. A spark plug
wire gauge may be used. DO NOT USE
FORCE WHEN CHECKING THIS CLEARANCE.
INSTALLING BREATHERS
Install a new gasket each time the
breather assemblies are removed
and reinstalled. Make sure breath­
er gaskets are properly located.
Locate gasket notches as shown at
right. Make sure retaining screws
are tight to prevent leakage.
Make sure breather tubes are not
hardened or damaged, and that the
tubes seal properly.
OIL SEAL
Always install the oil seal with
sharp edge of rubber toward engine
interior. Lubricate oil seal in­
side diameters with Lubriplate (or
equivalent), before assembling en­
gines, Press replacement seals in,
flush with engine.
