John2189 407 #1 Posted July 19, 2021 I took air filter off to check it and there was oil inside laying on the plate that bolts to the carb. There is a small rubber hose in there that comes from the block. Why is oil there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 10,499 #2 Posted July 19, 2021 Sounds like the crankcase breather. Possibly it can be cleaned? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeff-C175 7,195 #3 Posted July 19, 2021 (edited) That hose is coming from the 'breather' located in the valve cover. SOME small amount of oil is NORMAL, but if you've got a bit it probably means that the breather needs removal and cleaning. It could also mean that there's way too much oil in the crankcase.

The oil level is correct. I’ll check the breather thanks 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
