[QUOTE="vibrac, post: 98802, member: 60"] Dam it Ive done it again ! Taking the Egli out of hibernation, I drained the sump (it was filled with new oil when I put it away) -not bad out came half a pint or so, then I did it again:eek: I put a funnel in the oil tank and happily poured it all in completely forgetting (again) that the route to the tank is at the bottom of the filling tube and is only about 3/8" diameter:mad: yes oil everywhere down the fins and engine. Well thats finally cleared up now (Of course now the suns gone in and the clouds are gathering) but now I have lost a lovingly carved level stick that passed through the hole and measured the min and maximum oil level anyone know what the heights might be? otherwise I shall have to drain and remeasure :oops: (if I can find the notes on how much I should put in).
