A friend of mine (hopefully VOC member now) bought a Rap at auction last year, and I checked it over with him before starting for the first time. Well over a pint had drained into the sump, and it looked like new oil, so we poured it into the oil tank through a mesh. ........................... BIG mistake!! The lighting was dim, and since it had obviously sumped while standing (????) we assumed the oil tank would be low. Whoever put it in the auction had topped up the tank without checking why the oil level was low. We spotted the problem before too much mess was made, but if we hadn't drained the sump, the first ride would have been fun.
