              Inspect breather tubes for tears, cuts, holes or other











                damage. Replace as necessary.  NOTE The breather tubes allow crankcase vapors to be directed into the air filter element. By providing effective recirculation of crankcase vapor, the tubes serve to eliminate the pollutants normally discharged from the crankcase. Air cleaner mount- ing without installation of the breather tubes, or with breather tubes that are not air tight, allows crankcase vapors to be vented into the atmosphere in violation of legal emissions This will also negatively affect the engine’s breather system as it will cause the umbrella valve to flutter. Wipe inside of air cleaner cover and backplate with damp  cloth to remove dust. On
