Two questions.
On my 50FL I'm having significant amounts of oil flowing threw the crank case vent to the primary and pooring to shop floor. I've pulled the check ball and spring and cleaned, also the bypass ball and spring. The check ball is showing minor signs of wear, I haven't pulled the pump off to inspect the seat. I also checked the vent line back to the tank and it is clear.
1. If the ball seat is the problem can it be replaced or is trying lap it with a lapping compound the best option? Or am I missing the problem all together?(crank case breather timing)???
2. On the bypass, what is recommended as a setting? Currently I'm 9 turns out.
Thanks Pete
