Subject: Re: Question re Burg/Mystery Part?
As those who know me can attest, I am mechanically challenged. If it screws
into the top of the tower, it would block any oil coming out of the top of
the shaft. Is this what it should do? What effect is there to run with it
off, as I have been doing? Does it screw all the way in, or only part way?
Also, there are two threaded holes in the flat part of the top of the head
that take the same size threaded bolt, but are empty. Any one know what
they
are for? Why are they threaded?
