Couple of stupid questions

TheKeymeister · Feb 26, 2012

Putting everything back together and can't remember a couple of things...

1- yellow lever, I lost the bits for it so got the bag from the 109. That had the plate which attaches onto transmission tunnel and two springs, 1 long 1 short, and the yellow knob - got it together and got a spare short spring any ideas? Parts manual diagram wasn't helpful...

2 - oil bath air filter, it didn't have any oil in just some sludge, poured some in up to the level and then thought what bit is meant to have oil in the bottom part! Just the outer bit, just the inner bit or both?

Thanks in advance

it has one long spring sat between a seat in plate screwed to tunnel and nut under yellow knob,

ref question 2 it's just the outer bit.

Cheers guys, thats how I had the yellow knob assembled, fook knows what all them other springs are for...
And cheers for the air cleaner bit, better sort that as I filled the entire thing before thinking "I wonder if this is right"...
Hopefully get the exhaust on and tax it today!

Can you put normal engine oil in the oil bath air filter?

jamesmartin · Mar 1, 2012

std engine oil

does it matter if its used engine oil in the oil bath air filter ???:bowl:

dellboy1959 · Mar 4, 2012

yes it does as the idea is for the oil to filter out impurities so it has to be clean.

jamesmartin · Mar 4, 2012

oil catches larger particles as air turns sharp corner above oil level,

right ill change the crappy oil already in me filter for the leftovers from that service last week

I couldnt see a fill line on mine but it was dry. I put about 1/2 litre in the outside and it flowed down and filled the bottom as there are some drain holes on the inside. Is this right? How much should be in there?

jamesmartin · Mar 4, 2012

there is a line pressed into the bottom pan

Stumpy 1970 · Mar 4, 2012

Cheers. I put about 2" depth in. It seems okay.

I filled the inner and outer areas of the filter on mine in November. There were a couple or so small holes from which it drained into the inner area from the outer area. I filled both areas level to the marker as I thought this was the plan.
Without me removing the unit again to look, can anyone confirm if this will this restrict airflow / reduce performance (can't risk losing any power from the old girl!)

jamesmartin · Mar 5, 2012

thats what it does holes are below level slightly
