The H is blowing a little more blue than I'm used to seeing - nothing major, I don't think it's ring time yet. How does one clean the engine breather? I'm seeing a little oil coming down the block from that area. Is it a good idea to ream the tube going to the breather? If so, using what?

I wasn't specific enough - not the air cleaner, the breather - that node on the brakes-pedal side just above the oil filter.

Just take it off. I had mine off a couple of years ago, think it has some sort of mesh filter -- use parts cleaner and reassemble, the tube is easy to clean once you have it off. A little smoke/oil is normal -- I don't think cleaning it will have any effect, I could be wrong.

Completely remove your breather. Take off the oil cup and remove all the oil in it. Take your filter top off. You should see a lot of gunk inside. What I like to do is poor warm kerosene inside and let it soak. Repeat this process until you get most of it out. If it's really gunked up you and completely soak it in a 5 gallon bucket for about 1-2 days. Every now and then move it up and down so your getting the loose stuff out. Let dry and fill your cup back up with new oil. Put it back on and you should be good to go.
