I was just getting my 80 air-cooled ready for winter and when I removed the oil filter and parts from the relief valve on the engine/filter housing fell out. Holy s**t. It was a spring, ball bearing, and press fit retainer. My Guru said to expand the retainer a bit and put them back in. I did so and so far nothing bad has happened after 50 miles driving Dogged a bullet, I hope. Jim Morgan 80 Air-cooled" stink bomb" |
