Went to look at a cheap run-a-round which has not been started for
several weeks. The battery is flat and will need charging so I've not
yet heard it running, but removing the oil cap there was a lot of
hardened black crud inside the cap. The rocker looked clear and there
was no sign of sludge or mayo just this hard crud inside the cap which
crumbled and fell out when I scrapped it. Could it indicate something
serious or because the engine has not been started for a long time? had
a quick google where someone suggested crud in the cap may just be oil
or vapours which get trapped inside the cap and can't circulate so forms
a hard crud if not cleaned out.
