SECTION 3
AIR INTAKE SYSTEM
Fabricated Breather Hose
KT17
engines
with
the
teardrop
shape
air
cleaner
built
prior to 1980
had
a three-piece
fabricated
breather
hose
(Figure 3-2)
installed
as
original
equipment. Some
engines
show
interference be-
tween
the
governor
spring
and
this
fabricated
hose
resulting
in
the
end
of
the
hose
being
dislodged
from
the
air
cleaner
base
plate.
When
servicing
a KT17
engine
with
a
teardrop
air
cleaner, note
the
breather
hose,
and
if
it
is
fabri-
cated, check
the
center portion
around
the
hose
clamps
for
any
indication
(rubbing,
abrasion,
or
wear)
of
interference
with
the
governor
spring.
If
interference
is
found, replace
the
fabricated
hose
with
a
new
one-piece molded
hose
(Figure 3-3).
