CRANKCASE BREATHER
The crankcase breather is equipped with a reed valve to
control and maintain a partial vacuum in the crankcase.
The breather is vented to the intake elbow.
The breather chamber contains a removable oil vapor
collector. Oil vapor is condensed on the collector material
and drains back into the crankcase, which minimizes the
amount of oil vapor entering the breather.
