[SEL] New Way engine

[Tim Christoff]

Chester, I went and had a look at my 4 1/2 upright today and there is no
gas breather pipe on it.  I have had it down to bare metal and would have
remembered one if there was one.  My 2 1/2 upright does have one though.  I
have just finished up the painting on the 4 1/2 so I don't know how well it
will work without a breather hole yet, might have to make one.
