Thanks.

Knew about it in cars, didn't know about bikes, and had no idea it was on a chinabike.

Some of us don't have one on our bikes. You don't need it.

Make sure the crankcase breather is not plugged off. Run a hose from it to the bottom on the bike toward the ground if it is not already done. It may currently be tied into the egr system.

Ok... so let it breathe --

The original reason I noticed it was the loud sound I heard coming from it as the tube was melted off --

I definitely want that silenced so if I can find some high temp hose I will try to hook it back up and see if it is quieter...

Mine does not have the egr stuff on it. I will take some pictures of the motor so you can see what it looks like without. The crankcase breather is just a hose that is routed from the starter motor area to the bottom of the bike by the pegs.
