Re: oil drain plug

Unless they are offset visegrips I cannot get clamped onto it. I am sure to try clip on vertically is useless and stupid as that plug must be 1/8" or less in height.

Re: oil drain plug

If I don not have the socket exactly "right on" it will no torgue at all...just slip off right away. I like the "offset ratchet except that it is 1/4". I think I will stop by at a not so local...

Re: oil drain plug

I did notice the drain pan removal but there is so much other stuff in the way to get a socket onto them. I cannot get clearance to use a box wrench or channel locks. That is why you need the...

fuel shut off?

I am a new member. I am wondering why there is no fuel shut off. Is there a replacement petcock so the fuel may be completely shut off? This may be the best control of carb gum ups and "no starts"
