QUESTION: Will it hurt if I spray carb cleaner through breather tube instead of disassembling Is there a flapper hanging up
AnswerHello Again Joe:
>>There is a Flapper inside the Crankcase Vent Assy.
>>You can Try Spray Cleaner, but the Reason for Dis-assembling the Crankcase Breather is to make sure the Flapper and Spring are Not Broken. If Broken, then I Suggest Replacing the Breather.
