The other day me and Slade went to the store in the buggy and on asmall ride. On the way to the store I noticed a lot of smoke comming out of the breather and I was only turning 2800 rpm. When we parked it oil was dripping from the filter on the breather. WHY IS THIS GOING ON?? It is a 1835 with a single carbon running 20/50 oil and is not over filled almost a little low on oil. Anybody have. Some input

Could be just not venting properly or maybe cracked ring or something letting blow by. Chad :mrgreen:

I mean how do I find out if it is not venting or if it is the rings. Is it better to start with just changing and cleaning the breather and hoses. How do I find out if it is venting right. What kind of damage do I get running with a broken ring and is there a way to find out which one is broke without pulling all the pistons?

yes clean breather foam and hoses first and a compression test will probably show you which cylinder has a ring issue
