| + | ====== Oil Slinger ====== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Crankcase exhaust air escapes from the gearcase through the external breather tube. ((1959-1969 HD Sportster FSM pg 3A-15)) \\ | ||
| + | Any oil carried still carried by exhaust air is separated from the air by an oil slinger on the generator drive gear. \\ | ||
| + | The oil slinger is a washer on the end of (and powered by) the generator that deflects oil away from air leaving the breather outlet to atmosphere. \\ | ||
| + | It spins oil away from the breather hole and separates the oil mist in suspension with the exhausting air. \\ | ||
