jambone972 Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 the breather tube goes down inside the clutch cover and appears to go into the crank case just below the water pump.I am waiting for info before I take it apart.about 1.5 quartz of oil pumped out of this tube.My friend said it was the crank seals but the motor still runs great????

boonman Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 Are the other vent(s) clear? Sounds like the tranny case is getting pressurized.... Could be a leak from the case mating surfaces. But, it shouldn't pressurize that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fixitrod Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 I use to fill the case to the clymers specs and the oil read about the middle of the dipstick. I know, there a change oil recommended level and a complete refill level. I used the change oil recommended. It was to much. It would blow out on if I started hitting whoops really hard until it read just on the bottom of the dip stick. I thought it was the rezzie of my front shock because my hose is routed to the front. I now fill it to the end of the dip stick and that's it. Haven't had trouble since. ***edit*** I don't know if my oil was coming from the tube you are talking about or the one in the rear part of the crank case because they intersect.

jambone972 Posted January 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 thank's for the response. I think that clymer oil specs are too high. Also I believe that frozen condensation pluged off the breather tube. I tested the crankcase with 4 lbs. of air and it only dropped to 2.5lbs in 30 min. So now I put the mr. heater on it for 5 min and run less oil. so far so good the thing is flyin' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boonman Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 Excellent. Also, remember, that to check your oil, you must rest the dipstick in the hole, not screw it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
