Install Breather Cover and Inner Baffles
RTV sealant was used on early models between the
breather cover and the crankcase. A gasket with
imprinted sealant beads is now used and
recommended. Install as follows:
1. Be sure the sealing surfaces of the crankcase
and breather cover are clean of old gasket
material or RTV sealant. Do not scrape the
surfaces as this could result in leakage.
2. Check to make sure there are no nicks or burrs
on sealing surfaces.
3. Install the hex. flange screw, breather reed
retainer and breather reed onto the crankcase as
shown in Figure 11-56.

crankcase. Install first two hex. flange screws at
positions shown in Figure 11-58 and finger tighten
at this time.
