Yanmar YSE8 decompression lever and more
Hi,
the decompression lever on my newly (to me) purchased YSE8 is very floppy, doesn't return fully forward, doesn't seem like there's any spring in it, i hangs about midway, should it have a spring that brings it fully forward?.
It has a starter motor, is it only pushed aft just for hand cranking?, should I just fix it forward? But make the fixing removable in case of a runaway, how common are throttle runaways?
The engine oil is black as black, I presume you suck it out of the dipstick filler to remove old oil?, should I use SAE40?, that seems to be the most appropriate oil after doing a little research.
Also the toggle on the front of the motor, I believe it is the oil strainer or oil scrubber, the toggle doesn't move, should it?
cheers
