1812 oil injected ?

[cubs4lifeofme]

Ran great 2 years ago. Got it running today and oil is gushing out of the breather tube ? Whats the best repair ?

 

[lpalma]

Does it smell like gas? Didja check the oil before you started it?

 

[cubs4lifeofme]

No gas. yes it was full.

I would make sure the breather reed valve and filter is clean and working properly. Worst case is there is excessive cylinder blow-by that is overloading the crankcase ventilation system.

 

[mgonitzke]

Breather is malfunctioning, excessive blowby, or was overfilled with oil.

 

[lpalma]

Or a bad seal sucking in air.

 

[cubs4lifeofme]

Ran great when last used, lol

 

[cubs4lifeofme]

Was gonna start working on it and we now have as in the oil = Does this mean something different ?

 

[lpalma]

Do you mean gas or ***?

 

[mgonitzke]

Yeah, fuel pump or needle and seat has gone bad.

 

[cubs4lifeofme]

Gas . Wow better send her to the scrap heap i guess.

 

[mgonitzke]

Why? Fix the carb and/or fuel pump and change the oil. This is an extremely common issue with these engines. No need to throw the baby out with the bath water.

 

[cubs4lifeofme]

Is it possible to get the assembly out without removing the intake and muffler ?

 

[cubs4lifeofme]

And does anything look bad here ?

 

[mgonitzke]

I think it should come of without taking all that stuff off, but it has been awhile. I'd do a better job of cleaning before any further disassembly though.

That is the "old" breather. New one is a metal reed valve and should actually work.

 

[cubs4lifeofme]

And does anything look bad here ?

So what i need is a metal breather reed valve ?

 

[mgonitzke]

If you order a new OEM breather assembly, that is what you will get.

 

[1811Cub]

You will need at minimum:

quantity of two KH-52-055-01-S gaskets

KH-231419-S filter

lower cylinder valve KH-52-035-02-S

 

[cubs4lifeofme]

Shouldnt it have a hole for the bolt ?

 

[mgonitzke]

I does, right in the middle.
