Breathers
Briggs & Stratton engines utilize a breather valve (C) to
control and maintain cylinder vacuum. The breather valve
is a fiber disc or reed which closes on the piston up stroke
and opens on the piston down stroke.
The breather is located inside the rocker cover.
Service Breather
Remove Breather
1.
Disconnect breather hose (D) from air cleaner base.
2.
Remove rocker cover (E) with breather hose (D).
Remove and discard gasket (G).
Check Breather
1.
Gently blow air into the breather hose (D). There should
be no air flow through the valve.
2.
Apply vacuum to the breather hose. Air should flow
freely through the valve.
3.
If air flow is restricted under vacuum at the breather
hose, or has no resistance when blowing on the
breather hose, replace the rocker cover.
Install Breather
1.
Slide breather hose (D) completely onto hose
connection on air cleaner base.
2.
Place new gasket (G) and rocker cover (E) on cylinder
head (B).
3.
Install four screws (F) and torque to values listed in
Section 14 - Engine Specifications.
4.
Securely insert other end of breather hose (D) into hole
in rocker cover (E).
Lubrication System
This engine is splash lubricated. The dipper (K) is integral
to the rod cap.
Inspect the dipper for evidence of bending, cracking, or
looseness. Replace if necessary following instructions in
Section 8 - Piston, Rings, and Connecting Rod.
