RTV sealant was used on early models between
breather cover and crankcase. A gasket with imprinted
sealant beads is now used and recommended. Install as
follows:
1. Be sure sealing surfaces of crankcase and breather
cover are clean of old gasket material or RTV
sealant. Do not scrape surfaces as this could result
in leakage.
2. Check to make sure there are no nicks or burrs on
sealing surfaces.
3. Install breather reed and breather reed retainer onto
crankcase and secure with screw. Hold assembly in
line when tightening. Torque screw to 3.9 N·m
(35 in. lb.).
4. Insert breather fi lter into position in crankcase. Make
sure no fi lter strands are on sealing surface.
5. Install new breather gasket.
6. Carefully position breather cover on crankcase.
Install fi rst two screws at positions shown and fi nger
tighten at this time.
7. Install inner baffl es using two remaining screws and
fi nger tighten. Do not torque screws at this time; they
will be tightened after blower housing and outer
baffl es are installed.
Install Blower Housing and Outer Baffl es
NOTE: Do not completely tighten screws until all items
are installed to allow shifting for hole alignment.
1. Connect plug to key switch in blower housing (if
equipped).
2. Slide blower housing into position over front edge of
inner baffl es. Start a few screws to hold it in place.
On two-barrel carburetor models, lift debris shield up
above mounting surface, as blower housing is
installed. Make sure ground lead, fuel solenoid lead,
and oil pressure switch leads are accessible and in
proper position.
