Re: [T3] Oil Breather Cap popping off


>>A while ago Jeff Palmer had asked about his oil breather cap popping off.
There weren't many responses but I do

off on a regular basis?  Would this be an

In my case, I had the same problem, I did want Jim suggested boiling it and
etc.  It helped, but mine was pretty abused. So when I bought a parts stash
with an extra cap, I put that one on.  The new cap has never popped off.
Plus, the oil is not actually in the breather causing it to pop off, its
just the spring inside and a loose fitting cap.
