Just like an old car or truck PCV valve.

PCV = Positive Crankcase Ventilation

Basically any gasses that blow-by the piston rings into the crank case need a place to go. So the PCV valve (one-way check valve) let the gasses out but doesn't allow any in. Usually a hose runs from PCV valve to breather and sent back into combustion chamber. 

Since the gasses are in the crankcase some oil may be pulled up as well.

Or it could be something else. Just a thought. Home this helps and good luck with the repair.

I apologize to all who I left scratching their heads about my last post !!

Turns out to be fuel diluted oil coming from the breather.  I’ll be taking the carburetor off AGAIN !!!

Jim,

Have you checked oil level in engine? Does it smell like gas? If overful it could be sucked by the breather back to carb.

I was hoping you would respond. 
It was definitely gas infused and slightly over full. Took the carb off and changed the float and needle valve.  Reworked the fuel solenoid.  I have it running pretty well now but was having the issue with the blow back.

Merry Christmas to you and yours !

WX is keeping me in the house for now.  One thing that was obvious from the start is the exhaust has to be reconfigured to fit the machine. Search around the local marketplaces. 
I found my Predator on offer up for $100 bucks brand new.

Hi Jim,

Merry Christmas to you and yours also,

I saw somewhere you can order flange with stub out for that engine. You might weld flex hose onto stub and run it wherever you have to. If i see it again i'll post it to you. Wow, where did you see that engine for $100. Might be a scam. check close.

      DO NOT BUY A LANDMASTER UTV!!!!!!
      By Chucky 1
      I purchased a new 2023 Landmaster UTV L4 in October of 2023.  UTV didn't seem to have as much power of the demo L4 that I drove but figured once it broke in it would be better.  After about a week the unit started bogging down backfiring and stopping.  Gas fumes really bad, wait a few minutes and it would start up again.  Brought it back to the dealer and after keeping it for a few weeks said he couldn't find anything wrong with it.  Got it back home and it started acting up again, brought it back to dealer a week later and he said he found couple things that might cause it to do run bad and he was able to replicate the issue but didn't really know what was wrong.  Got it back home again after being at dealer for several weeks and the unit started running bad again right away.  Brought it back to dealer and he went back and forth with Kohler about possible fixes but just checked somethings and try to swap a few parts but still runs bad.  I called Landmaster HQ to speak with someone about a refund and was told that was handled at the dealer level.  Dealer called Landmaster and they told him they didn't do refunds or exchanges especially with units that had problems.  The dealer is now trying to get a new engine to but I have not heard anything as of yet.  I did file complaint with Better Business Bureau and they accepted my claim and reached out to Landmaster.  The National Service Manager called me and said the he had been contacted by the BBB about the complaint and he would look into it.  I told him that I would just like to have my down payment of $2,000.00 returned and never mind the over $1,000.00 I have paid in notes for a UTV that I cannot even ride on without hoping it gets me around the neighborhood.  I have found out that the 2024 Landmaster UTVs will have Vanguard engines due to issues with the Kohler engines.  Very disappointed in what is "Proudly Made in the USA" and the way Landmaster has treated this disabled veteran!

      750 will not shift into gears
      By Buck
      My father-in-laws 750 hisun will not change gears unless he completely turns the motor off then shifts.  I thought it might be a brake problem but he thought clutch.  He took it to a jackleg down the road and he basically charged him $300 and did not fix a thing.  Any ideas would be useful because he really can’t afford throwing money at it.

      Hi All
      2010 653cc
      Need any information on a Subaru Robins EH65 engine. Particularly the carb vacuum line to the bottom of the carb. I think it’s disconnected internally in the engine. 
      Thanks Jim

      Please help 2021 Axis 750 crew won't shift into gear and found milky oil on inspection
      By BMurph
      Hello everyone! I am new here and have no experience with UTVs but I am quickly getting some. I have a shifting problem where I can shift through all gears without the engine running but as soon as I start the engine I can not select a gear. Yes, foot is on the brake and yes the pin is being pulled to go into reverse if I was to try going into reverse. The shift lever does not move. I adjusted the linkage to get more accurate shifting with the engine off so I know those are now correct. I opened the shift lever housing to inspect the teeth on the gear and found this picture below. Why is this oil so milky looking? I assume with oil like this I'll need to replace the wet clutch as well but am not positive. Does anyone have any input into how to flush this system and get things shifting correctly? Thanks in advance for all the help!

      Losing Fuel / Prime 500cc
      By Buddee
      2010 Hisun 500 - Carbed'.  She sat for about 3 weeks since last use.  Couldn't get it started.... has spark but plug was not wet.  Bought new plug, cleaned the carb, confirmed fuel pump (pulse type) is working.  Still nothing.  Put gas in the plug hole.... started right up and idled as normal and drove perfect.  Used it for the rest of the day without issue.  Tried to start again next morning.... same problem.  Poured gas in plug hole again.... started up and best kind again.
      Anyone have any insight to what's going on?
