Alright i drained the oil, and when i tryed to put oil in it it overflowed when i only put in 1/2 quart in it , so i took out the drain plug again and nothing drained out of it? what could be the problem?

 

Did you drain both plugs??? Or just one? I'm just guessing here, but you probably forgot to drain the oil tank...

 

AHHHHHH! Man i didnt think u had to


I used to have a quaD where it was one opening and one drain plug im not used to thats

Hey so i should drain both and i fill up the oil tank in the front of the engine and it will go to the engine?

Man i feel stuiped.

But hey thanks.

 

Did you drain the reservoir ? That is the tank you put the oil in and over flowed. Just draining from the bottom of the crancase does not drain the front reservoir. There is a drain plug on the bottom of the reservoir. When you add oil you can only put about 1.75 quarts in it and then you have to crank the motor over to get oil into the motor and make room in the front tank for the rest of the oil. the total ammount should be 2.2 to 2.5 quarts when changing to filter too.

 

That pretty much sums it all up. After you add the initial 1.75 quarts start it up and let it run for about 3 minutes, the manual says to rev it up about 3 times I think. Then shut it off and let it cool for a few minutes, then add the rest of the oil and keep taking measurements...

 

Man guys i dont kno what i would do with out you i got it to run and oil in it and everything thanks so much.!
