Subject:      Help! Oil filler Tube
Comments: To: type2@type2.com
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii


The oil filler tube has slipped off my engine (1980 air
cooled), spraying oil around the fan area.


Bently is not too clear on how to reconnect it, but I think
it is basically a slot with a bolt for tension (is this
right?). The slot at the end of the tube appears slightly
damaged, and that may complicate reconnecting it. What am I
better off doing?


1) Pulling the tube out entirely and stuffing a rag in there
until I can get a replacement part?


2) Reconnecting the filler tube and watching the gauges like
a hawk.


3) Not driving it at all and screwing up my weekend plans.


Any ETKA gurus have a part number?


Thanks,
Chris
