    But they sounded sooo Parrerfell I couldn't resist! I didn't even look at the brand, it came in the tune up kit... I'll be more discriminating this evening when I buy a new one... maybe Ebolagap or Flufire brand next time...

    Speaking of not broke, don't fix it. I found the source of my oil seepage. The tank has a drain plug and it is stripped out. Plug or bung has stripped threads and sealed with telflon tape. Turn the plug left or right a d it does not tighten up or come out.

    I will have to tilt the whole splitter up on one side to minimize oil drainage to drill and tap the bung for a bigger bolt. But it's only a drip or two a day right now. I'll just put a catch pan under it and close the vent to slow the leak down.
