I previously thought the tube that comes from beside the muffler to into the carburetor (before the choke) was an exhaust-recycler, but obviously not. "Reading the f***ing manual" revealed that it was really a crankcase breather, whatever the heck that is.
This engine has a vertical crankshaft. In the compartment that you open up to service valve stems/springs, the plate that unscrews is the crankcase breather. There's oil for some reason in the compartment, btw.
Anyway, the breather is a thick thing that comes off, and it has a hole into it that opens into the compartment. Then there's a tube that attaches to it and leads to the carburetor, after the air filter and before the choke.
So! What's a crankcase breather, how does it work, etc. etc. etc...
