Abstract
This disclosure relates to a combined breather-lubricator system for an internal combustion engine having a horizontal cylinder, a crankcase, a vertical crankshaft journalled by an upper and a lower bearings in the crankcase, and a valve spring chamber in the crankcase. The system includes two breather passages. The first breather passage extends from the crankcase through a check valve and the spring chamber and opening into the atmosphere, the valve being adapted to pass fluid therethrough in the direction from the crankcase to the atmosphere. The second breather passage extends back from the atmosphere through an oil drain hole in the spring chamber into the crankcase. The system further includes a lubrication system connected to the first breather passage.
