1992 Yamaha Timberwolf - Oil Out Breather?

[ShelbyGT660]

Since I have had this Yamaha Timberwolf it has had the problem of blowing oil out the breather, Also if I am running it down a road and look back I can smell oil, So I assume its burning it as well, Plug is a light brown in color. Goes through about a quart in about 7 hours of run time, Some of which ends up in the breather box, How can I remedy this? It has good compression (Rated is 128PSI) 125PSI. And starts without problem with the electric start. I am out of ideas and the cost of oil is killing me.

are all the crankcase vent lines clear for sure?

[ShelbyGT660]

Only one vent line, And yes its clear as it has pressure out it when engine is running. Its strange that this engine has no filter or valve between the vent and airbox

how about the exhaust having an unrestricted flow?

just read your other post and went looking online ...

it's probably this : worn compression rings, & oil control rings, worn bore, worn ring grooves - do a leakdown test and that will tell you for almost certain ...

[ShelbyGT660]

Well, For the time being I guess I am going to have to run it as is, As its my main transportation and I got no money to purchase a leakdown tester

I was thinking of putting some type of collector inline with the breather hose? To collect the oil and let it run back down?

Also, Heres the plug

Weird line around it?

Oil leak from where? The cam cover is tight, And oring is good (Checked it when I redid the valves)

Sorry for the bad pics, Samsung Galaxy was taking good pics until i scratched the lens

And the exhaust has leaks (Around where the header meets the muffler

Ok, New problem, It seems to be running wayyy to hot, Its melting the o-rings on the valve covers and starting to melt the plastic on the oil dipstick >_> Its also now burning oil big time when its hot, I am guessing its due to the oil thinning? Or it blew the oilring out from overheating

[ShelbyGT660]

Should I make a new thread as this is now not only oil out the breather problem?

[oxidized_black]

i can change the title. maybe your oil pump is screwed? or the carb is getting too much air and making it run hot?

[ShelbyGT660]

I hate to toss money at it, Oil pump is good as I have checked it by removing the test port screw.
