Subject:      shudududer at take-off, too much oil
Content-type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"


Hi all. Two questions: I was always told to put a little more oil (up half a
litre) in the in the air cooled engines for Aust. conditions. I've just
changed the oil and filter in the 92 transporter and accidently over filled
by about 250 -350 ml. Should I drain the excess or leave it in? (It uses
about 250 ml per 2000 kms).
Sometimes at take-off, reverse and forward, at low revs I get shuddered, if
I increase revs it doesn't happen. I thought it could also relate to my
original posting ' popping out of first gear when descending steep grades
and hitting a bump'. Any suggestions?
Thanks and thanks in advance,
frank
