Hi. I have a (new to me) 2001 Optimax 225 with an air compressor filter located under the flywheel cover. This is the square filter that looks like those found in lawn mowers - no the new model round filter.
Upon trying to change the filter I can not remove 2 of the 5 screws used to fasten the filter cover. I suspect that the brass threaded inserts that are in the flywheel cover have broken free and are just spinning under the filter cover.
Has anyone had this issue and if so, I would be interested in knowing how you solved it. Thank you.
