I took the 782 out for a ride today and it started smoking. I opened the hood and found the dipstick was popped out and some oil was coming out. The issue is related to the crankcase breather tube.

Here’s a little history behind it. I took the breather apart to replace it because it was the old umbrella style and I put a reed style in it. In the process the old tube was brittle and broke in pieces. It looks different than the ones on the bowl style air breathers, I have the flat style. This is a series II but with swapped tins and intake from the original series I engine. I looked for the replacement tube but only finding KH-52-326-06 listed which is the same part for magnums, and in pictures it looks like the magnum style. The one that came off looks different, there’s not as much of a bend in it and it’s not as long. I stuck one on that I have here that is from a series II with the dome style air filter and it pinches shut, which caused the dip stick to pop out.

So, which part number is it that I need to replace it? Or is there really no difference and I have some mutant part that came off?
