Thanks kraig, Thats excactly what I need, I had a slight oil leak coming out of the governor shaft.So I assumed that the oil breather was plugged up.It seems alittle dirty but not really plugged.I even tried tightening up the large nut on the governor shaft but it was nice and snug.Have you ever had this problem????

 

[kmcconaughey]

Scott, not sure about that, but I bet someone here does. Most everyone else seems to post later in the day after work. Hopefully they'll get an answer to you soon.

SCOTT - Both Kraig & I post FROM work... I had the same problem on a K181 in My 72 when I first got it. The little reed valve (#20) HAS to go in according to the manual/picture and has to seal the hole in the plate fairly well or You pressurize the crankcase and leak oil. And to be quite honest, It looks backwards in that drawing from the parts book, the flapper or reed valve should be towards the outside. The KOHLER factory service manual was avail. on-line but I couldn't find the K-series manual a couple weeks ago. Keep things clean...use selant on those two gaskets (#19) and your leaks will be gone.

Denny, Scott, I have that Kohler factory PDF file that used to be online. Here's the breather info from it. Notice that it lists the K181 not the K161.
