Re: oil tank

Are you sure your motor is a four-stroke and not a two-stroke? If it is a two-stroke, then you do not change the oil. You just replenish it as it gets used up from running the motor.

I thought it was worth asking, just in case...

If it's 2 cycle, I think it'd be worth draining it and checking the pickup screen every coupla years. I've seen sludge build up in em, and an oil bottle seal getting in and floating around.

I then filter the oil and dump it back in.

hope it helps
