Well THERE you are, Don! I figured you must have been really busy the past couple months. Always a pleasure to see one of your videos show up on my list. 🔧👍

good to see a new video been a little while

[@magicone9327]

Struggles are always the real way things work more times than not!

Glad to see and hear you sweet talking those machines. My saw leaks but from its proper hole. Like it’s pushing it from the tank. Have you ever seen that?

[@magicone9327]

Could it be pressure tested and soaped for bubbles before reassembled

[@magicone9327]

Would it be possible to enter tank and pull on the tube to give it some help with that entry grommet?

[@magicone9327]

Should the engine have been started before the bar installed to verify visually the oil being pumped?

[@Rein_Ciarfella]

I always do that. Quickest most direct way to confirm.
