The oil fil/breather on my 8N is loose. It's easy to wiggle and pops out with just a light tug. Of course, it also leaks a bit. Is there any way to tighten it up or is it time for a new tube? Is this a common problem?

A muffler shop can help you. The have a tool that expands exhaust pipe, similar to the filler tube, to varying diameters.

I purchased a exhaust pipe expander from harbor freight, cost 4.00. I used this to expand mine to fit snug. I also use it when I have to fix my exhausts, they always seem to need attention. Good luck.

here,s something I saw Zane post a yr. ago..find yourself a pipe/rod that will fit snugly into problem end of tube [all i could find was heavy end of proper size socket]. Rest tube on anvil and tap as you rotate tube. Actually, you are just stretching the metal. keep trying it in the hole until you have NEW tight fittin tube...worked fer me ! Have fun!

This is correct!

Just try not to expand the tube too close to the end that has to start in the block.

I was a mechanic and the parts man too at our little dealership and I never sold a filler tube. Just fixed the old ones. We eventually went broke by the way!:-)
