"Bought a new 2008 BF20 Sept 2
"Bought a new 2008 BF20 Sept 2008. After 4 hours the motor sucked about 1/3 quart of oil from the PVC valve through the vent tube to the air intake. Oil was drawn into the carb but most spilled into the lake. Honda repaired stating the PCV stuck open,
I've now got 20 hour on it and it started doing it again. Two additional times it drew oil via the vent tube but not to the same extent as the first. I'm thinking the first repair was to keep me quiet. I run my motor in shallow water and sometimes tilt to the first setting. Could operating or storing in a tilted position cause oil to flood the cylinders (almost like storing on the wrong side).
Any other possible causes... Thanks in advance
I'm thinking it's more a storage/operation issue."
