A few oil drops
I’m noticing that there a few oil drops from the vertical tube that comes from the oil filler and ends under the car near cilinder#2 with a plastic cap on it when I park the car. The oil doesn’t come from the air filter, because the tube that comes from it is dry. How can the oil climb the generator pedestal to get out from there? Joao 72 Super 1302

There is a little notched gasket-like thing that is under the generator stand which prevents oil from splashing up the oil filler tube (in the gen stand). It only correctly blocks the most oil when positioned correctly in one of the eight possible (!!) positions. -Kevin

I have to speak with the guy you rebuilt it. Do you have the gasket position diagram? Joao 72 Super 1302

Does it use oil?
