    Air box filling with oil

    While indexing the new plugs and getting ready to put in for the season I noticed that the air box had alot of oil in it. What would cause this? This is on a 99 Ficht, 200HP. The hose running to the box is not plugged.
    No-one has a answer to this one?????

    I can offer a minor explanation...if the engine is in tilt position for long periods of time oil does drain out of the horns into the airbox and then onto the lower cowling and accumulates. I just tilt mine all the way down when I return from an outing and that seems to take care of the problem.
