Hello all, I was just servicing my 445 for spring. I put almost 75hrs on her last season. total hours on machine is approx. 1250. It's had head gaskets replaced laat year and run really well. My question really concerns the crankcase breather I think, in that my air filter is quite oily, especially on the left side where the u shaped tube from the crankcase breather comes into the air cleaner assembly. Strange thing is that the spark plug on the left side on the engine is also black with carbon where as the right spark plug is perfect. The oil is not over filled. Is it normal to get so much oil up from the crankcase like that? And is it possible that it affects the spark plug on that one side as well? I don't get it. Any opinions would be welcome. Thanks, George
