Hello all,

I inherited a 1981 CB750F that needs quite a bit of love. One thing that I came across that I couldn't find much literature on is the plastic black breather box under the battery carriage. I took out the plug from the drain hose, and all kinds of good stuff came out. Water, oil, white stuff, something that smelled like anti-freeze, a rubber chicken, etc. The question is should this box be completely cleaned out or is there a fluid or oil that is supposed to stay in there?

Thanks bunches!!
