BREATHER SYSTEMS Briggs & Stratton engines use a breather valve to maintain and control a pulsating vacuum in the cylinder or sump. The vacuum helps to control oil leakage past piston rings, valve guides, oil seals, governor lever shaft and gaskets. The breather valve is a fiber disc or reed that closes on the piston's up stroke and opens on the piston's down stroke.
