Location: Athens, Ohio | Many auto parts stores will carry this pump kit and lube bottle. I fill from the bottom, after threading the nipple in to the lower hole, and pump until some runs out the top. Then, I let it set for a moment to let any air bubbles work their way up, and overtop a bit again. Then, add new O ring and screw in the top screw.
Since you're supposed to leave a little headroom for expansion when the lube heats up, I always dribble a bit when I remove the pump nipple. Tilting the motor at that point will help in my case, since the lower fill hole is actually behind the prop on my motor. What a pain to remove the prop each year, but it is a good time to check for fishing line and re-grease the splines on the shaft. m | |
