+====== Symptoms of Breather problems ======
+Read more here on the [[techtalk:ref:engmech04#engine_breathing|Engine Breathing System]] in the REF section of the Sportsterpedia. \\
+The most noticeable signs of breather valve problems are weeping gaskets or oil excessively leaking out the breather or puking oil out of it. \\
+When the umbrella(s) gets hard, it doesn't flex well to allow the engine to breath out on exhale. \\
+Then the trapped in air is compounded on the next stroke.  The excess air contributes to more vacuum created and implodes the gaskets. \\
+Or it contributes to too high of oil density and slings excess oil out. \\
+Other factors are involved so results will vary. \\
