IP Oil level - measuring??
« on: July 03, 2009, 22:15:10 »
Hi,

Is the Injection Pump oil level measured at the 'inserted' or 'screwed in' level??   The screw threads are about a half inch, and it makes a big difference if they are counted or not -  the current level is good if measured screwed in, or low if just measured at inserted level.

Screwed in level is the measurement to use.
