Tecumseh Engines / tvt691 oil in air filter
« on: April 08, 2013, 06:11:48 am »
G'Day,
I am racing in australia using a stock tecumseh tvt691.
On rough tracks where the front end bounces a fair bit I am getting oil from the crankcase breather into the air filter housing.
This happens to the degree that it runs out of the bottom of the air filter.
I have fitted a catch can and this has solved the problem to a degree until the can is about quarter full.
Is this a common prob for tvt691? As no one else has this prob with other breeds of engine - the only other tvt691 i know of experiences the same issue.
Any help appreciated.
