1996 MAX II w/B&S 14HP Vanguard Twin:

I had read another thread, (http://www.6x6world.com/forums/max-a...-no-power.html), but there was no response or solution to his stated problem, so I will ask again.

I was getting oil drawn up through oil breather into air filter area. I replaced both the oil breather & gasket and the air filter & foam filter. While this seems to have helped some, does anyone have any ideas/insight as to why this might be happening. As for oil level being too full, no, I have checked and it is and has been just below the max line on the dipstick.

And secondly, as I do not know the age of the battery, I am thinking that I will replace it before winter. I am thinking of getting a heavy duty deep cycle battery to replace the current battery. As the manual only says "12V 250CCA", does anyone know the proper/correct "type/size" that is specified for the MAX II?

Once again, many thanks in advance!
