"Had my carbs rebuilt at the local dealer. Motor has been running great. I've used it the last three months for waterfowl hunting in very, very cold conditions. When checking the oil recently, I notiticed the oil had turned milky (had done a fresh oil and filter change before the season started). Appears the mechanic failed to re-attach the crancase breather tube next to the oil fill cap. Could that cause water/condensation to get into the oil? PS: Checked the plugs and they were not wet. Thanks for your help. Todd"
 
Thanks Just-In-Time. Did that

Thanks Just-In-Time. Did that. Ran about two miles. The motor started and ran great from 0-3/4 throttle. Lost power between 3/4 and WOT. Checked oil and it had water in it. I drained nearly four quarts of oil/water mix...double the standard oil capacity. Obviousy not the crankcase breather tube.

"I've got a blown head gasket. I think Honda offers a top end gasket kit...does anyone know the P/N for the kit? Thanks, Todd"
