10% eth usually stored dry most times or near empty.
No damage I can see. It was filled with gas two nights before to be ready
It bumped back once during start up. I wiggled the battery cable, it was loose. Then it launched that block plate at start up and had an oil down. Took me a bit to figure wtf happened and then the fumes hit my nose. Problem solved.
My tank at mid point is below the pump and carb bowl. Three gallons full ttt is what caused it. Just above the seat... easy fix. Just hope it's fine. It started right up with no issue at idol.
Question for you B&S V twin mechanics.
Do I just replace it with an SAE pipe thread nipple and a new oil filter or go find a used block plate?
None are shown or offered for sale or in IPL listings. Found out all that in videos. Murry was known to delete the filter. I have a Craftsmen riding mower with the 21hp v twin.
The nipple unscrewed right out of the case. It split clean at the cap face. Gasket is still stuck on perfect. I'm betting it has a tight motor to make that kind of pressure in the oil pump or is this more of a case pressure issue, idk. Never owned one before or messed with them internally on the bottom end.
