CRANKCASE BREATHER (IMPROVED
DESIGN) FITTED TO LATER ENGINES
The crankcase breather is mounted on the
side of the thermostat housing Fig. 27 and is
connected to the engine via a flexible pipe
and elbow fitted on the front of the gearcase
(see Fig. 28).
To clean the breather remove the top cover
and withdraw the two wire mesh elements
and wash thoroughly using a suitable
cleaning agent. Shake as dry as possible,
finally blow dry with an compressed air. Refit
the elements into the breather body, and fit
the top cover firmly. (See Fig. 26).
NOTE: When replacing the cover check the
sealing gasket is in good condition and the
cover has located on its dowel.
